What inspired you to write Christian books?
I have been writing since I was in elementary school. However, when I became a Christian in the 1980s, one of the lessons I received from church was the need to be "in the world but not of the world." This prompted a natural shift in my heart toward writing books that I felt would glorify God.
Are your books suitable for all ages or a specific audience?
My non-fiction books are suitable for all ages. However, my fiction books primarily present realistic scenarios of life in inner-cities and may contain mature themes. For that reason, even though my books do not contain any graphic language, sex or violence, discretion would be advised for younger children.
What themes can readers expect in your books?
All of my fiction books adhere to a Christian worldview and will often feature characters dealing with issues from the perspective of faith. Scriptures and spiritual lessons will be present but not overwhelming.
Do your stories follow biblical teachings or include Scripture?
Absolutely. All of them!
Are your books based on true events or entirely fictional?
All of my novels are entirely fictional, but often include real life events to enhance realism or to provide context.
What message do you hope readers take away from your writing?
It is my view that my fiction, although intended primarily for entertainment, will inspire and encourage readers who may be experiencing simnilar situations that the characters are experiencing. I want readers to experience God's truth through story, to have their faith in Jesus encouraged and strengthened, and to engage the heart, not just the mind.
Do you write for believers only, or for a broader audience?
Both believers and a broader audience can enjoy my books, though those who are not believers should be aware that my books contain spiritual themes.
In what order should I read your books?
No particular order. To date, all of my books are stand-alone, with no series. But that may change in the near future!
Where can I purchase your books?
My books can be purchased through Amazon.com. Bookshop.org, and through Dove Christian Publishers' webstore.
Do you offer speaking engagements, book clubs, or church visits?
Yes, if my schedule permits. Contact me through the contact page if you are interested in having me appear for an event.
How often do you release new books?
I am attempting to release at least one new title per year.
Can I contact you directly?
The best way to contact me is through my contact page or through social media. Because of my schedule, I do not allow immediate direct contact.
Are your books available in digital or audiobook formats?
Most of my books are available in digital format. To date, my books are not available in audiobook format, but we are looking at releasing some audiobook versions in the near future. Join my mailing list (below) for updates on audiobook releases.
