I’m a Publishers Weekly bestselling author, Selah Award winner, and Amazon Top 100 bestseller from Southwest Missouri. When I’m not putting fictional characters through the wringer in my fast-paced romantic suspense novels, I work alongside my husband Jerry as co-founder of our nonprofit ministry dedicated to strengthening marriages and families. Having aged out of foster care myself, I bring hard-won wisdom about trauma and healing to every story I write, weaving hope and forgiveness into my characters’ journeys. Whether I’m helping people survive in fiction or thrive in real life, I’m passionate about helping others discover their own happily ever after.
