Fiction Writer

I have always had a love for stories. I've been an avid reader since I was quite young, and so it seemed natural when I went to college to major in English and Literature. I was a high school and college professor for 15 years, and for the last 11 years I've been a full time writer. I began my career writing Amish romance for several large publishers. In the last 10 years, my writing has expanded to include cozy mysteries, suspense, romantic suspense, and dystopian fiction.

Veil of Anarchy

Can law and order survive in a world without rules?

As police chief, Tanda Lopez has vowed to protect the people of Alpine. But how do you protect a town against itself?

Perched on a high mesa in the Chihuahuan Desert, no one is coming to help the citizens of this remote Texas town. When the entire array of lower orbital satellites crash, they are instantly catapulted into a world without communication, power, or resources. Tanda is determined that law and order won’t be the next casualty of the apocalypse. But how can she fight a corrupt mayor? Can she stand between those who wish to uphold the law and those who are intent on annihilating it? And what will she do about the neighboring communities who are preparing to attack?

As a Veil of Anarchy blankets the world, will Alpine and its people be destroyed?

About My Writing

I enjoy writing in a variety of genres. Every plot is different. The characters and setting and type of story change. But they all are stories of light, hope, and truth. Stories that touch the deepest places in our heart.

Tales that whisper hope. That speak of family and community. That remind us that life is good, is a gift, and one to be treasured.
