WHY DO I WRITE?

Dear readers,

I’ve often encountered the saying, “Write what you know,” and it strikes a chord deep within me. As a writer of Christian historical fiction, my books are far more than just tales; they are a reflection of my faith, my love, and the essence of my life.

Every story I tell is woven from the fabric of my experiences and the cherished people around me. My first novel, The Warehouse, is a vivid tapestry inspired by my own family—both my maternal and paternal roots. When I close my eyes, I can almost feel the warmth of the Florida wilderness where my ancestors forged their path. The characters in my book echo the laughter, love, and struggles of my family, embodying themes of faith and resilience. I can still picture my brother and me riding on a mule during a cane grinding, eagerly awaiting the Thanksgiving Dinner bell, the faithful mule pulled that hand-hewn pole of the mill.

Then there was the journey of writing my second book, The Train – God Cares for His Children. This one flowed effortlessly, infused with the spirit of my father. It was easy to write because I lived through his late-night battles with phantom pain, his relentless workdays fueled by sheer determination, and the toll that medications took on his body. Yet, through it all, he remained steadfast in caring for our family, a true testament to his faith in God. I admired his heart for others, often reaching out to those who, like him, faced the pain of amputation. His life has left an indelible mark on my heart.

Contrasting that experience, writing my Faith of Our Fathers Series, was a true test of resolve. Without a family oral history to lean on, I often found myself grappling with uncertainty. In those moments, I’d ask myself, “What would Grandpa have done?” That question became my anchor, and I found comfort in Hebrews 13, which reminds us that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

As I delve into the depths of history, I immerse myself in the lives of my characters, allowing God to unfold their stories. It’s a remarkable experience that never ceases to amaze me.

My goal for my writing is to share with you, my readers, the love of God, His Son, Jesus Christ, and His Faithfulness, hoping that my books will touch your life.

God’s profound mystery has come alive in my heart, and I am grateful that He desires to walk alongside me in every moment. Come along with me. May God touch your heart, too.

WHAT IS A CRADLE CHRISTIAN?

That would be me.
As a cradle Christian, I grew up experiencing God's love through my family and church. Today, it's crucial for children to feel God's love in a family setting. Unfortunately, not everyone has this blessing. Many children and adults still haven't experienced God's love.

That’s why I write.
