Dear Parents,

My promise to you is to always maintain a website where you can feel comfortable with the content.  Some of my stories are silly, some are funny, and some have magical things like fairies or talking animals, ladybugs, Christmas elves, or inanimate objects that come to life - simply put, the magic of childhood. 

There is however, a second kind of magic.  This magic is “bad” magic, and has no place on this website, in my writing, or in my life.   Nowadays, it’s not uncommon for authors to toe the two lines, citing their use and writing of bad magic and fantasy as innocent and harmless.  It is in fact, the opposite.  My writing skills and imagination are gifts from the Lord.  He makes no secret about His love for children.  Above all, I remain accountable to Him for my influence on these children through the gifts He has chosen to give me.  Will I write about  elves, and post those stories right alongside my Biblical stories?  Sure.  However, I do not post ANYTHING that I feel God would not approve of, and that I would not read to my own children.  

I do not write Christian stories that pretend to appeal to the masses in order to then do the old bait-and-switch with a Christian story later.  I am first and foremost, before a writer, before a mom, before a wife... I am a Christian who seeks only to use the gifts God has given me to bring joy to children in a increasingly terrible world. 

 

My stories are not about fitting God in to a secular world, but about recognizing God in it, and about returning childhood to children - those years of wonder we all long to go back to.  Or if you’re like me, the years you never really left...
