Who Am I?

MY EXPERIENCE

I am excitedly moving on to my next career as a published author, having spent thirty years in the corporate world of training, as a facilitator, mentor, coach, and development specialist. 

I have a Master’s degree in English – Creative Writing . 

My Debut book

To Steal Maggie’s Heart, an Inspirational Historical Fiction, is Book One in the series, Grooms for Garfield

Now available on Amazon and ordered through any bookstore, To Steal Maggie’s Heart, is the first in the series, Grooms for Garfield

Maggie Garfield, the twenty-one year old, quite capable owner of Mando Merchandising, a large and profitable mail-order catalog company, is dedicated to carrying on the legacy of her deceased father, William, who founded Mando and the town of Garfield.

In homage to his late wife, William has provided homes and jobs in Garfield to ladies who have aged out of orphanages, and who otherwise have few options to live independently.

But change is about to occur when the ladies tell Maggie they desire families. Because there are few men there, and Maggie does not want the ladies to leave, she devises a plan. Advertising for mail-order husbands!

Enter two potential grooms – Garrett Hanley, a man who might be willing to steal Maggie’s heart, as well as her company, to rid himself of the villainous Rex Tillman, and Jessie Walker, a spoiled college graduate forced by his mother to become one of Garfield’s chosen candidates. Can Rex Tillman be successful in his attempts to take over Mando Merchandising? Maggie will need to be the strong leader William has readied her to be if she wants Garfield and Mando Merchandising to remain safe and prosperous.

Coming soon...

My ministry

To share Christ’s love

I am the videographer at my church, live streaming our weekly Sunday services.

I try to be kind and loving, which is much easier when my focus is on God instead of me. I am human and I do fail. I get back up and try again.

I am so thankful for God’s amazing grace.

WHAT DO I LIKE?

In addition to writing, I like to go boating and fishing.  Getting lost in a good book is always fun, too. I am a sports enthusiast, especially for my home teams, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Kansas Jayhawks.
