Dear Friends in Christ:

Good day! God bless you! Welcome to my web site! And may the Lord bless, encourage and inspire every individual visiting here today.

Especially if you love to write books. Or read books. Or love how books and stories equip, challenge and transform those who treasure the written word.

I consider writing my ministry. In fact, as I sit down at the keyboard in the mornings, I’m still amazed at the privilege of crafting a few humble words to try to change lives. Yet I’m convinced that every word that glorifies God – from a breakout novel to a Twitter tweet -- is birthed by Him.

Thus, it's with gratitude to our Heavenly Creator God that I invite you to look around and learn more about the books God birthed in me. And some news! I’m finishing my own first novel – a mystery romance for the Christian audience. (Who knew? Ah, love.) More details to come. Meanwhile, thanks for stopping by. You'll find a provocative page of Prayer Tips, information on my speaking calendar, my humble (but mighty!) book store, my bio page plus other information on faith, prayer and writing. For Christ! With love! Patricia
