God's Extravagant Grace For Extraordinary Grief
Welcome to my new website! I enjoy my home in beautiful East Tennessee where I write, speak, hike :-), and love my family.
In 1995 I completed the Christian Leaders and Speakers Seminar (C.L.A.S.S.) developed by Florence Littaur and in 2016 completed Speakers training through a class at the Cove. I have taught classes for writers at Lifeway Christian Resources, Chattanooga Bible Institute, and Cleveland State College, as well as leading workshops at the Southern Christian Writers Conference (SCWC), Kentucky Christian Writers Conference, and the Southeastern Christian Writers Conference. Several published articles have won awards at the Lifeway Writers Workshops and the SCWC – read more.
