This is me.

I’m so glad you’re here!

I am a Christian author of contemporary and speculative fiction. I write stories that focus on shining the light of hope amidst themes that do not shy away from the darker parts of life in this fallen world.

If you are looking for stories that bridge the gap between secular novels with highly sexualized and often toxic relationships and overly sanitized ‘clean’ reads, you’ve come to the right place!

All the romance in my novels are closed door, and my novels have limited to no swear words. However, there are some topics and situations, especially in The Challenged Faith novels, that are not suitable for younger readers. I write Redemptive Fiction, and that means the stories delve into darker themes and some contain trigger warnings for assault, substance abuse, or difficult topics. Those warnings are always noted in the description of the book. But, I can promise you that no matter what darkness the characters endure, the light of God’s hope and salvation always shines in the end!

I began my publishing journey in 2015 with a paranormal romance debut novel, “The Kiss” the first book in a new adult series now titled “The Divided Hearts Series.” I also published the first two stand alone contemporary novels in a collection of gritty, hot button stories that follow characters who come to faith in Christ after walking through some topics most Christian novelists won’t write about. I tackles topics like LGBTQ, human trafficking, abortion, and adultery.

I live in small town Ohio with my husband. We enjoy going on long cruises, motorcycle rides along side roads and back roads, and cheering for our favorite professional hockey teams.

Risen Fiction Publishing is the publishing imprint for all of my novels.
