WELCOME to my page! I author Amish Inspirational Fiction; My newest book, SERENITY'S SECRET, debuts October 1, 2024.  THE QUILT ROOM SECRET became available February 1, 2024.  I grew up near Arthur, Illinois, and became acquainted with the Plain Faith at an early age when they custom-made and installed our kitchen cabinets. On weekends, my parents and I frequented the quaint Amish town, often the setting of my stories, where we purchased our meat, cheese, and home-made baking spices. Now, decades later, I still love visiting; the town and the people yet intrigue me, and I so appreciate the talent of quilt-making almost as much as I love horse and buggy rides. Oh...and I never leave without a visit to my fav store, Stitch and Sew! But there is much more to this perplexing group than meets the eye; they are extremely disciplined, hard-working, and honest...and they don't all think alike. For these reasons, writing about them is my passion. 

 

I was fortunate to have been raised in a loving, Christian home by two wonderful parents: a reading specialist mother who plays the piano and encouraged me to read from a very early age,  and a retired Junior High Principal father who also farmed and taught me how to garden.  I have a B.A. in French Education, and I'm a former school teacher who loves gardening, cooking, reading, positive thinkers, and every dog I meet. Although I'm a homebody, travel has played a large part of my life. Over three decades of working with the airline industry has landed me on five out of seven continents.
