Author Biography

I was raised in Orange County, CA from 0 to 9. I then moved to Nebraska for 5 years, and then back to Orange County. I currently live in Midland, Texas. I went to Tustin High School in Tustin, CA. For college I went to Biola University in L.A. I have a B.A. in English with a minor in Bible. At Biola I was a member of the Torrey Honors Institute all four years, which is a great books program. I played basketball and was in choir from 4th grade through college. I really, really love animals. I have a beautiful 6 month old daughter named Serenity, and a wonderful Christian husband named Ben. I love the outdoors and I very much miss living by a beach. I have been to India, Taiwan and Mexico on missions trips. I visited Sydney, Australia recently and got to fulfill my life long dream of snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef. I was raised in the church. I have been a hard core, on fire for God, Christian since I was 14. Singing the song "Shout to the Lord" in church was what made the light bulb go on for me, and what made me transition from a head faith in God to a heart faith. I love to sing and I absolutely love Hillsong worship music.: ) That's me in a nutshell. God bless!
