I am so excited to share that my new website has launched, LifeStoryPress.com A lot of behind the scenes work has gone into it and I am so glad it has officially launched!

I do hope you’ll visit! You’ll find my books, custom art, ABC Scripture verse cards, and soon, a line of greeting cards as well.

Be sure to read the About Us page to learn about the heart behind the brand. (Like 10% of every sale going to Riverside Life Services, a place where women, children, and men too, are seen, loved, and cared for deeply.)

Please stop by for a visit and tell a friend! 😉

I had the blessing of illustrating a new children’s book, God Loves You Most, by the sweet and talented Tara Norbeck. Every part of this project from start to finish was a delight. And now it’s ready for pre-order on Amazon and will ship March 9th! I’m so excited!

Pre-order today!

So, one of my besties of over 25 years, Elisabeth (Lilly) Swardstrom, has a beautiful brand new full color cookbook out called Host on the Coast: Cookies Made Simple. It’s available for preorder now on Amazon and ships March 10th. I can’t wait to try her recipes – she’s a thoughtful, talented, and creative chef. She also has a modern etiquette and lifestyle blog that you won’t want to miss, HostOnTheCoast.com If I had to describe my friend Lilly in one word, it would be “lovely.” As is everything she puts her heart and mind to.

And here is a picture of us from (way) back in the day. She was a special person in my life back then and she still is today. 🙂

Happy reading! And baking!

I am deeply honored and thankful to be able to share that my little children’s book, God Must Love, won a 2026 Outstanding Book of the Year Award from the Illumination Book Awards. I am sending many congrats to all the winners. What a fun and exciting honor!

I couldn’t have made this book a reality from my head and heart to a finished and published book if it wasn’t for my wonderful publisher, Fusion Hybrid Publishing of Endgame Press, or my family, especially my mom and husband whose support is endless. THANK YOU! From the bottom of my heart.

My hope for this book is for kids to know that God, creator of everything good in the universe, loves them and made them unique and special. We are all made differently, but God loves us all the same.
