I grew up in Oscoda, Michigan, which is where the books in the Fruit of the Spirit Series are set. This series follows a group of people who grow and learn together in their individual and collective walks with God. Much of my own personal life experience and walk with God is represented in my novels.

“Love Waits: Book One” of the Fruit of the Spirit Series was originally published in the autumn of 2015, and I am happy to announce that it was republished with Covenant Books last year! It can currently be purchased through Covenant Books (https://covenantbooks.com/books/?book=love-waits), Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, or Google Books – just to name a few places.

I am excited to share that “Finding Joy: Book Two” is currently in the publication process with Covenant Books! I will keep you posted with updates and I look forward to sharing book excerpts from it in the near future!

“Keeping Peace: Book Three” is written. “Patience by Chance: Book Four”, is not finished, but it’s close! I also write blogs and other stories.

Some more info about me…

The Lord is the most important One in my life. I’m also a wife, a mom, a grandma, a knitter, and an ice hockey fan (Wings, Canes, & Wild). I enjoy photography, gardening, sewing, and solving clean who-dun-its. I can be quite cheeky at times, pretty stubborn (probably more than I should be), and a bit feisty. Cooking and baking in the kitchen as well as writing are like therapy to me.

I was born and raised in Oscoda, Michigan, and still consider myself a Michigander. I now live in western North Carolina, out in the country and I absolutely love it!

(By the way, if you’ve wondered how to pronounce my last name, it’s pronounced like “spoon hime”; it’s Norwegian.)
