Hey there! I'm just someone who's been through a lot—and now I help others
break free from the emotional and spiritual weight that holds them back.

In 1989, I picked up To Russia with Love by Hans Christian—a riveting account of Scandinavian believers who risked everything to smuggle Bibles behind the Iron Curtain. Not long afterward, I devoured Dimitru Duduman's Through the Fire Without Burning, the harrowing testimony of a Romanian saint repeatedly imprisoned and tortured for the same sacred mission. Those pages ignited something in me. I was awestruck by the underground church's unshakable joy, by the catalogue of miracles woven through their suffering, and by the way God seemed to speak to them—through dreams, visions, and quiet whispers—so naturally it felt like a divine pipeline.
Most of these courageous Christians didn't even own a Bible. A single page might be passed from hand to hand, each believer committing its words to heart before releasing it to the next. Yet they radiated hope. They endured persecution with smiles that declared, "Our God is in control." How could such resilience bloom in such barren soil? That question launched me on a lifelong journey of prayer. I asked the Lord for the same intimacy—an everyday friendship with Him that could withstand any furnace, a faith that overcomes rather than merely copes.
Decades of seeking have shaped the books I now write. They explore the lessons God whispered in the hidden place: how to exchange defeat for victory, how to wield the spiritual tools He's already placed in our hands, and how to lift others out of their own afflictions. My dream is that these pages will spark the same transformation in you that Hans Christian and Dimitru Duduman sparked in me. Once you learn to live as an overcomer, you'll never see life—or adversity—the same way, and you'll be equipped to pass that freedom along to someone else.
Today I make my home in the misty Pacific Northwest with my husband and our two decidedly opinionated cats. Conversation fuels my heart—I spend as much time as I can talking with people about the art of overcoming. I've published five books (one with a major house and another with a small regional publisher) and just completed my fifth, slated for release on June 1, 2025.
If we ever cross paths, I hope we'll swap stories of God's faithfulness, because that is what I love most: watching Him turn ordinary lives—yours, mine—into testimonies of extraordinary grace.
