My Writing

The rumors are true: I write more than a blog! My book Amen? Questions for a God I Hope Exists (Lake Drive Books, 2022) is "a collection of graceful musings, prayers, and poems for a wandering, wondering, doubt-laden, hope-filled faith that reflects the desire to believe as much as belief itself."

Social media more your speed? Find me on Twitter (where I muse about writing and faith), Instagram (where I seek beauty and humor), Facebook (where I share more personal life updates), and LinkedIn (where I showcase accomplishments from my day job).
