AGE: 61
GENDER: Female
OCCUPATION: Homemaker
LOCATION: Evansville, Indiana

WRITING:
In the weeks and months following an auto accident in 1990, I would find myself often lying down to relieve the pain I was experiencing. That accident resulted in my having fibromyalgia, a condition that is known for widespread pain and extreme fatigue. I began to steep myself in worship music and Scripture, and soon found words coming to mind that had to be written down. Thus began my writing career. It seemed as if God was whispering to me in my pain and using it as an outlet to encourage, support and inspire others. It is my prayer that He will continue to use it in this way.

I say that was the beginning, yet I spent five years writing monthly newsletters to our faithful financial supporters when my husband and I were on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ at Arrowhead Springs in California from 1976-1981. I had dreamed of writing even as a child, making up stories, and even copying my brothers' homework!

FAMILY:
My husband and I have been married for 42 years, have three grown daughters, and ten wonderful grandchildren. I have been blessed with terrific siblings and in-laws. Though we are not close geographically, they are ever close in my heart.

INTERESTS:
I have an Associates Degree in Accounting and enjoy writing, reading, cross-stitching, worship music, Bible Study Fellowship, sudoku, and many other forms of music.
