Books & Stories
I write about relationships, identity, faith, and what happens when life asks us to become someone new.
Some stories are fiction. Some come from lived experience. All of them begin with the questions we carry about love, belonging and becoming.
The Blessed Series
Love can break us, remake us, and ask us to become more.
Set in the fictional community of Brookview, the Blessed Series follows families, friendships, marriages, and the complicated ways our histories shape the people we become.
Book One: Broken
Until it all fell apart, and love demanded more.
David and Amanda Lloyd have built a beautiful life together—a decade of marriage, two sons they adore, successful careers, and a home in Brookview where they've learned to navigate love, family, and the expectations that come with both.
Amanda believes she knows the life they've built.
But lately, something feels different.
David is distracted. Amanda is questioning things she once felt certain about. And beneath the ordinary rhythms of marriage, work, friendship, and family, small cracks are beginning to appear.
Then one unexpected moment changes what Amanda thought she knew and sets in motion a series of choices, discoveries, and consequences neither of them could have anticipated.
As Amanda searches for answers, she begins asking a question that reaches far beyond her marriage: Who am I if the life I trusted is no longer the life I know?
Set against secrets that refuse to stay buried and a past closer than anyone realizes, Broken is a story about love, identity, faith, family, and what happens when the life you've carefully built begins to reveal its cracks.
Because sometimes what breaks isn't the end of the story. It's where the truth begins.

Coming Soon: Made
Sometimes healing looks like starting over… together.
Bruce Lloyd has spent much of his life becoming the man everyone expected him to be. Then he meets Shauna—a woman whose life hasn't followed anyone's blueprint.
Both are carrying histories they haven't completely made peace with. And as their lives begin to intertwine, they'll have to decide whether love is something they can simply find—or something they're willing to build.
Made is a story about identity, family, second chances, and the courage to create a life that finally feels like your own.
