The Journey begins

Five years ago God told me he wanted me to write a book.  I said "Yeah right" I had no idea how to do that.  two days later at a garage sale there was a box of books, the one on top said "How to write a novel" coincidence I don't think so... I asked the lady what the book cost she told me I could just have the whole box. She just wanted to get rid of them.  Imagine my surprise when I found the box contained twelve books on writing.  God is good and He has a great sense of humor.

I thought fine I could write some cute fluff love story and all would be great, right? My first story ended up being about my own testimony of emotional, verbal, and physical abuse by the hands of my father and later a husband that tried to kill me. Needless to say it was not a fluffy little love story but it did help heal my heart after almost forty years of pain.

I have now written five books all are fiction and are to help women learn there is life after abuse. God wants to heal us and make us new. This has now become my ministry and I love to speak to women about hope and healing.

Three months ago I was unaware of the whole publishing business. Oh I had sent in my manuscripts to publishing houses on the internet but I had no idea about one sheets, queries, or book proposal.  I went on a missions trip to Quito, Ecuador and met two of the nicest ladies in the world Marty Pieper and Jennie B. Jones.  Both women are published writers and they spent time with me offering me guidance. I told you God is good. I was just trying to do something good for him and He blessed me with these two sweethearts.

This blog is all about what I have learned in the last few months and what I will be learning. I pray you will come along for the ride. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
