I was raised in Southern California but am now living in West Michigan with my wonderful husband Marc, and our two kids - Andrew is 10 and Annika is 7. I was raised in the Jewish faith, but have since become a follower of Christ.I love to write and have had assorted stories published in a handful of magazines and a few Christian writing anthologies. I'm currently working on a non-fiction book about God's workings through my husband's health issues. Tentatively titled Ailing Body, Nourished Soul, the first chapter received honorable mention in Fathwriters.com's Page Turner First Chapter contest. At the moment, it is being considered by a literary agent.
My other work in progress is Handmaiden To A Princess, a Biblical fiction book set during the time of King Saul and centered around twins, one Princess Michal's handmaiden and the other a servant to Prince Jonathan. It's still in the writing stage.
My other writing projects include this blog, FaithWriters' Blog (I am the daily blogger there), a monthly post at the encouragement blog Jewels of Encouragement, the Midwestern group blog The Barn Door, and Internet Cafe' Devotions and, occasionally, the Faithwriters' Writing Challenge. I am also doing some editing on the side, which I truly enjoy (and have been told I am quite good at). My other passion is God's Word, which I find can meet my every need, if I'll just do more than read it. ;) God has sustained me and my family through so much, and it is my ministry (among others) to share that sustenance, and God's work, with all who will listen.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 NIV
