Wife, mother, writer & lover of words.

As simple as it sounds, I’m a wife and mother, a writer and lover of words. I currently reside in Jacksonville Beach, Florida with my family which includes my husband and two children, and none other than the real life Mack.

Mackie-Who? is my first published book and was originally written for my daughter Ruth’s first birthday. The process was a rollercoaster of excitement, but honestly one that I’m ready to jump on over and over again. It may not always look like this particular project and journey, but I’m always thinking about the next story that captivates me in some way. If it gains enough traction in my mind, maybe it’s worth putting pen to paper so that it can captivate you too.

I love that I can call myself an author now, because it’s always been a dream to proclaim that. I greatly enjoy reading and writing. My husband Andrew and I were missionaries in Costa Rica during 2012-2013. I blogged about our experiences there and loved it. That was my first real commitment to writing regularly. One day, it is entirely possible that our experiences there will make its way into a wildly interesting story of its own. If you’d like to check that blog out, here it is.

I unveiled Mackie-Who? at Ruth’s first birthday party. I was able to read it to her in front of all our family and friends. It’s a cliche saying, but my heart was so full!
