Books about the journey...

Feeling a little drained by life? Need some encouragement that’s also honest about the difficulties of the path? I may be able to help you. I’m Jill. I write novels–and a few nonfictions–about the journey of life with God. Is it easy? No. Is it beautiful? Sometimes. Is it worth the struggle? Always. Pull up a chair and let me tell you stories about broken people traveling a broken world with a healing God. Stories about surrender, overcoming, and new beginnings. Romance. Fantasy. Young adult.

Readers Weigh In

“So many truths in this story. As usual, a brilliant read with a great and unexpected ending. Never a dull moment.” Amazon.au (Tales of Balia)

“Interesting characters, an exotic setting, and a compelling story all make for a great read. Another good book from one of my favorite storytellers.” Amazon.com (St. Ninian’s Sanctuary)

“It kept my attention from the first page! You will feel so many different things as you read. This is about love that fights for the one he loves, but it’s also about learning that God is real even through the hard times.” Goodreads (Snack Cake Chronicles)

What's on the drawing board...

Some are ready to go. Some need final edits. Some are barely more than ideas in my head. But eventually all of them will see the light of day.
