This last Bazaar of the season was amazing! I prayed that above all God would open up conversations about suicide loss and why I wrote my two memoirs. Not only did I have conversations about this difficult topic, I sold one of each of my memoirs. In all, I sold ten books mostly the Bible […]

I’ve done much work to get ready for my first book signing of the season on November 16, 2024, this coming Saturday. I will be featuring all eight of my books. I finished uploading my books but one to IngramSpark and ordered author copies. What a whirlwind! I also have new book covers for three […]
