My Writing Journey, Part I
During the past four years, I have discovered that my fantasy and real-life stories are often deeply and strangely intertwined.
Also, the cover reveal for Avalon Lost, my debut YA fantasy novel.
A Reason to Keep Going

I’d spent the last two years staring at the same four walls, the same few faces, the same sidewalks, parks and streets. In order to produce new writing—new art—I needed a fresh vista.
The Missing Chapter
My editor Ruth smiled encouragingly at me. “Can the convent deal with suffering? Can my writing deal with my suffering? These are questions your book will try to answer."

The Lord loved me before I was following Him. He called me before I was listening. And He had a marvelous plan for me, long before I had given up making my own plans.
Building a Convent of the Heart
My editor and I were talking about my convent memoir, yes. But we were also talking about my life, right now.
