"I am on my fourth career.

First I was a farmer’s wife, homeschool mom, and then finally high school English teacher. But now I’m living my lifelong dream of being an author. It didn’t come easy or fast. As a matter of fact, my first book, Time and Again, was 18 years in the making. Unclaimed Legacy was released in September 2012, and Every Hill and Mountain completed the trilogy in April 2013. These novels span several genres. They’re part sci-fi, part Christian fantasy, and part Christian historical fiction."
