I have broad life experience and am effective in artistic communication and interpersonal skills, holding a BA in Communications (Bethel, MN) and an MA in Theology (Briercrest, SK). I edit academic projects for PhDs internationally (dissertations and journal articles) and have published a nonfiction book, Roots and Branches: The Symbol of the Tree in the Imagination of G.K. Chesterton (2015). However, my love is fiction; my debut novel, The Third Grace, was royalty published December 2011 and received the coveted Grace Irwin Award for Canadian Christian book of the year. I continue to publish novels and other fiction. I’ve freelanced various short stories and magazine articles over the years, with more than thirty nonfiction pieces appearing in a national legal quarterly for which I acted as staff writer and assistant editor. I also work with theologian Dr. Grant C. Richison, having co-edited his award-winning apologetics book and continuing to edit his extensive online expository Bible study circulated worldwide. I speak to various groups on subjects including the craft of writing, literature as it relates to the Bible, and living out the Christian faith. I travel widely for pleasure — so far, to more than thirty countries on five of seven continents, having sojourned several months each in France, Mexico, and South America.
