Why I Write

I write for the women who believe in love but have learned to wait.
For the hearts healing quietly.
For the readers who know that faith and fiction don’t have to exist apart.

My stories are shaped by the belief that God is present in the waiting, the becoming, and the unexpected turns that redefine our lives. Writing, for me, is a way of honoring grace — the kind that meets us where we are and gently rewrites the story.
