Novels: Although my two completed two novels are based on different fundamental concepts, they both show how ordinary people can achieve remarkable feats through determination and courage.
Sacred Alliance–an inspirational mystery centered on a disturbing incident involving an isolated cult living in the Adirondack Mountains village.
Living Banner–-historical fiction revealing important information about Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovich Romanov’s role during the final days of Imperial Russia, which was buried in the Soviet Archives for over 7 decades.
Children’s books Co-written with Adrian Beltran
Recently, my husband and I joined forces to co-write a children’s chapter book aimed at middle grade readers.
The Adventures of Griff & Coop underscores the timeless vibrancy of the Old and New Testaments to young readers who are just beginning to formulate their worldview. The story is narrated by our main character, Griffin Werner, a ten-year-old boy who lives, breathes, and daydreams baseball–to the detriment of anything else. (Griff asked me to add this: “You should probably tell them one more thing, that sometimes I mess up real bad.”)
And Griff does “mess up” again. This time he’s grounded from baseball for a whole week! As he sulks alone in his room, a discarded stuffed animal springs to life as Coop, a feisty angel-in-training sent by God. Coop quickly whisks Griff back in Bible history to experience a series of 5 on-the-spot, firsthand, eyewitness accounts of God’s amazing power! Gradually, Griff acquires a deeper understanding of the Bible’s message and uses his new knowledge to support his older sister through cancer treatments and to teach his baseball buddy to pray for his father after a bad car accident.
