PennyWelcome to my home on the web. I am a Christ follower, wife to my wonderful husband, Lon, mother of two elementary-aged daughters, and am a Christian author/speaker. My fourth and fifth books are scheduled for release next year and I have also written for numerous national and regional magazines. My work has also been included in several anthologies. I owe all my inspiration to the Lord – He truly is amazing!

I was bitten with the writing bug at age seven when I began writing Bible stories in my own words. My second grade teacher, Mrs. Vernon, holds a special place in my heart – it was she who encouraged me to continue writing about Jesus. In fourth grade, I began to write fiction stories about a dog named Muffie and her adventures, as well as other short stories neatly composed in homemade wallpaper-covered cardboard books.

My passion is to is to use the gift of writing the Lord has blessed me with to further His Kingdom. When I'm not writing, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and camping, hiking, canoeing, gardening, and playing volleyball.

I praise the Lord for drawing me to Him and for sending His Son so I could have eternal life!

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. ~Psalm 19:14

MckenzieDesperate times call for desperate measures" is the reasoning that prompts McKenzie Worthington, a young lady of Boston’s high society, to respond to an ad for a mail-order bride for a man in the Montana Territory. McKenzie is desperate, after all, to save her beloved younger sister, Kaydie, from her evil, abusive husband, who robs banks for a living. And so, it is with reckless determination that McKenzie runs away from the comforts of home and hearth to head West and meet her new husband—whom she’ll divorce, of course, after she rescues her sister.
