On a professional level, I am a semi-retired Middle School history and English teacher, blogger, and writer for our family business of Marble Mountain Kennels and an adventure sports ministry. I am a mother of five nearly-grown children, a happy wife, and a perpetual student, researcher, writer, genealogist, missionary, and international traveler. I love Jesus and enjoy writing Christian romance novels, but I like to mix it up by writing family histories and the occasional murder mystery, as well.
