Clever, Closed-Door Fiction for the Professional 'Extra' Woman

What is Closed-Door Fiction?

Closed-door fiction offers readers of glimpse of what could happen behind closed bedroom doors but saves readers from the heaving and thrusting. There are two words you will never find in my books: reverie and member.

Do You Write Christian Fiction?

Not according to the technical definition. I have characters who smoke, drink wine, and do stuff they shouldn't. But they also pray, attend church, and read their Bible. I write in a way that plants a seed and entrusts God with the rest. That does not always please those who exclusively read Christian Fiction.

What's the update on

RUTH'S GARDEN?

I'm glad you asked! It is finished and is with my editor, Carrie Turner. Once we finish the editing, I'll move on to the first step of publishing as an e-book while I save money to publish in other formats.

Update May 1, 2023: I have the developmental edits back from Carrie and now I'm painstakingly revising scenes, adding character development and more. I always knew an editor would make my writing better, but WOW, Carrie is a Godsend!

If you'd like to be part of the beta team or ARC team, please contact me.

Ruth's Garden is getting a final edit before it enters the publishing stage. Stay tuned! I'm currently outlining The Prodigal Ring and panster writing when inspiration strikes.

Ruth's Garden

Meet Karen

Karen Tanner finally escaped the claustrophobia of her small town to enjoy her immersion in the flash of San Antonio high society. But after she faces heart-breaking betrayal and sudden job loss, Karen flees home and reunites with her sisters to uncover secrets in her grandmother Ruth’s garden.

Tucked behind an old shed on the family farm, in a small garden dotted with plaster angels protecting the secrets buried underneath, Karen finds a secret that could devastate their family and even change its history.

Karen will have to determine how to keep the family together while she struggles with her faith to recognize God's plan for her life. And when Jacob, her high school
sweetheart struts back into town; her world is turned upside down again.

Will she finally learn the key to loving others is to first face the truths in her own heart, or will she run away yet again? And can she convince Grandma Ruth that peace can indeed flourish where grace and forgiveness have taken root?

The Prodigal Ring

Meet Tara

Tara has lived under her Karen's shadow for long enough.

If she wants to enter into a relationship with Todd and make him baby daddy number 3, that's her business.

But she knows she wants more than that.

Todd can provide stability, financial support, and masculine energy in a household that needs it desperately.

Todd has doubts about whether a relationship will help him through his PTSD, or merely distract him, but Tara seems worth the risk.

Together they embark on finding the owner of a military ring that belongs to a marine with similar memories as Todd.

Will Tara join Todd on a difficult journey to heal someone else's wounds before she can conquer her own? Or will she move on to easier but less fulfilling ways to fulfill her needs?

And why is God yelling in her ear in the middle of it all?

Girl, Underground

Meet Heather

The ideas for Heather's story are still brewing...

I want to tell a story that brings the horrors of sex trafficking to light. I want to honor those healing from past atrocities and provide information to the public so they are inspired to take action.

When Heather agrees to foster a young woman who's escaped from a sex trafficking nightmare, she uncovers a den that has taken root in her hometown of Victory, Illinois.

Is taking on the evil an act of bravery, or does it bring more danger to her small town and her family?
