About

Photo credit: Christina Custodio

I’m a wife and a mom of three daughters in the sunny South. In our home, nothing’s safe from science. Roasting marshmallows without testing how various snack foods burn on a stick? Unthinkable! We’re also the only family we know with an 8-foot handmade catapult in our basement, which we haul out each year to launch pumpkins at the church picnic.

With degrees from Cornell and Syracuse, I began my career in human services and program management, but writing and editing are where my real passion lies. I’ve published community research for United Way, contributed to Sonlight Curriculum and Home Educating Family Magazine, and written and edited and curriculum for Artios Academies. My novel Amberly was released in August 2012, and is available in all the usual places. To learn more, visit my Facebook Author Page.

I love inspiring people to love God, and my prayer is that everything I write honors Him. When I’m not  writing (or doing wife & mom things), you’ll find me studying the Bible, reading, drawing, and playing guitar.
