I have been writing since I was a child, and have composed a variety of poems, songs, short stories, plays, and devotional pieces over the years. As a Christian, I see writing as a gift God has given me to share His love with others. "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" is my first novel. I am currently working on the second draft of the sequel, which I hope to have out soon. I am pleased to also have recently presented my first illustrated children's book, "Hello, My Horse", to the youngest generation of readers. Besides writing, I enjoy photography, playing guitar, researching history and my genealogy, painting, cooking, and spending time with family and friends. Some of my poetry, short stories, and devotional writings can be found on my hubpages.com website (see the link listed below).
