I have written for general market publications such as the Lamar Daily News (Lamar, Colorado), The Colorado Trooper, and Wiring Harness News.

Currently I write a monthly column for the Faith section of www.TheChristianPulse.com.

I have contributed to seventeen books, including Chicken Soup for the Christian Soul 2 (HCI, 2006), A Cup of Comfort Devotional for Women (Adams Media, 2005), A Cup of Comfort Devotional for Mothers (Adams Media, 2007), Zondervan’s New Women’s Devotional Bible (2006), and Chicken Soup for the Soul: 101 Best Stories of Faith (2008).

I am the author of Dear America, - A Letter of Comfort & Hope to a Grieving Nation (Ampelos Press, 2002) which I wrote after September 11th. My most recent book is Deliver Me: Hope, Help, & Healing through True Stories of Unplanned Pregnancy (April 2011).

My writing has appeared in Great Britain, Poland, Bulgaria, Canada, and Korea, and was featured on Vonette Bright’s radio program “Women Today.”

I regularly attend writer’s conferences for training, contacts, and encouragement, including the Colorado Christian Writers Conference in Estes Park, Colorado, which I have attended annually since 1989. I have been on faculty at this conference in 2006, 2009, and 2011.

I am a member of Toastmasters International and have earned my Competent Communicator certificate.

I have completed all seven one-year long college-level Bible study courses offered by Bible Study Fellowship International.

I am also a screenwriter. I attended Act One Program’s “Writing for Film and TV” two-week seminar in Hollywood, California, June/July 2010. My short script, "A Cowboy's Faith," inspired by a true story in Deliver Me, was a finalist in the 168 Project's 2010 "Write of Passage" contest.

When I’m not writing, I enjoy riding my motorcycle with my husband, Hal, and gardening with my cat, P.C. Hal and I are members of the Christian Motorcyclists Association which endeavors to reach motorcycle enthusiasts for Christ. We live with our cat in Pueblo, Colorado.
