About me

Occupation Homemaker, mother, writer
Introduction I am the author of the science fiction series, "Over the Edge," which includes romance novels featuring characters from the series.
Interests I am interested in almost everything, I read "Scientific American" and "Discover" magazines to keep up my professional education; I read Charisma magazine to keep up my spiritual education; I read my Bible to keep myself alive. Lately, I've been reading biographies and books with theological themes. I highly recommend Metaxas biography, "Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy." I am presently reading "The Gift of Pain" by Dr. Paul W. Brand and Philip Yancey. I am an artist, I love color and beauty. I love to cook, but mostly because I love to see others enjoy what I've made.
