So, how did this all get started? It started with a girl who loved to read, who loved to get lost in each and every story. It started with a girl who wanted to write her own story, who wanted to create something where other girls and boys and men and women could get lost too. So she started writing…
In 2005, she began telling the story that would eventually become her first novel, Katherine’s Kingdom: To Love in Peace, published in 2011 by Publish America (later renamed America Star Books). But the story wasn’t finished…
Life may have taken a few different turns, but she always wanted to get back to the story she had started. And now, it’s time to finish it! The complete series, including the next two books (A Hope for Joy & The Faith to Forgive) is now available on Amazon…and the story will continue as long as there are girls and boys and men and women who want to get lost in the story.
