Friday, November 4, 2016 a surgeon's phone call confirmed I had early stage breast cancer. My treatment involved a mastectomy, reconstructive surgery, and an anti-hormonal called Tamoxifen. That particular drug induced major depression that left me wanting my life to end.
It was during that battle with emotional darkness that I believe the Holy Spirit spoke to me. Seemingly out of nowhere, I heard Him very clearly state, "Write a book about how I've helped women with their breast cancer journey." I had never, in my life, wanted to write a book. EVER. But the mission I was given took my mind off of pain and re-focused my energies on finding women willing to tell their stories and assembling a book. This new sense of purpose was a fun and exciting season. |

In Joy Is Contagious...Cancer Isn't 12 women...friends and family... share their breast cancer journeys, of which mine is one. So I hardly consider myself an author, despite what the heading of this website indicates. I'm more of a coordinator, but have other books I've started. Time will tell if I become what I'd consider an actual author. The book ranked number 1 on Amazon's list of newly released breast cancer books. If you or someone you know was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, you may want to purchase the book for its encouraging stories. You can.... |

My book was self-published and released November 2017, just one year after my diagnosis. Soon after the book launch, which was such a wonderful evening for me and the contributors who attended, the publisher contacted me, offering to produce an audiobook. The offer came with a hefty pricetag. It's then that I considered producing one myself, since I already had and regularly used audio equipment for a daily morning show I recorded for a Christian radio station in Colorado. I soon cranked out the audio version and discovered recording audio books was something I truly enjoyed. |

So a new phase of life recording audiobooks was born. Initially, it was only sporadically as time would permit because I still had another job and was still recovering from surgeries. But near the spring of 2019, I decided to pursue it full time. The verdict is still out as to whether or not there will be enough work for me to continue this as an occupation, but I'm anxious to find out! For a complete list and to see and hear samples of what I've recorded so far, please visit the hamburger menu (yes, that's what it's really called) at the top of the page. |

And so if raising a family, writing books, and recording audiobooks weren't enough, I've decided to add cable tv show host to my growing list of titles. My friend, Carol Berry, and I launched a program on Facebook in February 2019 called Sisters and Saints. It caught the eye of the new owner of a cable channel in Cullman, AL who asked if he could air it on television. We certainly didn't object! You can catch the episodes and find out more by visiting the hamburger menu in the upper left hand corner of the page. Thankfully, this additional "duty" doesn't feel like work and actually serves to strengthen my faith. |
