I am a Christian fiction historical romance novelist and lover of all things vintage and antique. I used to say I was born a century too late, but with our frequent power outages here in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, I decided I prefer to merge the best of the olden days with our modern conveniences. I’m a skilled artisan crafter, creating new traditions from old-time customs for my readers.

I write on what inspires me, and hopefully you, closer to God and our pioneer roots. If you want to deepen your relationship with Christ, offer your family the wholesomeness of yesteryear, then this blog is for you.

I typically post twice a week, Monday’s are faith posts and Wednesday’s feature Pioneering Today, how-to articles on cooking, gardening, preserving, and crafts. To make sure you don’t miss a new post, you can sign up via email.

My Biography

I found my own little house in the big woods, where I live with my husband and two children in the Cascade Mountains. I write a monthly column, Pioneering Today, for the local newspaper that bridges my love of the past with its usefulness in modern life. My books and articles are inspired by my family’s small herd of beef cattle, my amateur barrel racing days, and my forays into quilting and canning—without always reading the directions first.

I grew up reading Laura Ingalls Wilder and my love of books has never stopped. Once a month, I’ll share a book I’m reading and offer up a copy for one lucky winner.

Listen to a radio interview featuring how I came to my pioneering background, how God led me to become a writer, and tidbits on my historical research.

When I’m not reading, you can find me running, gardening, camping, wake-boarding, or sitting outside in the beautiful nature God created for us.

I am represented by Sarah Joy Freese at Wordserve Literary Agency. Read How God Uses Hardships for Good to see how I came to be a novelist.
