The author included religion in such a natural way which completely enhanced the story. It also had an extra, surprising element – faith. This YA novel had all the elements I love in a book, adventure, mystery, innocent romance, and humor. Then one day, I picked up a book at my local bookstore that changed everything.

Initially, I didn’t write it as a Christian novel, just a fun mystery with a good message.

The idea for my first novel, Perfect Blindside, popped into my mind one day while I was searching for clean adventures for my own children. It just took a while for the calling to write, to come to life. Even when I tried to suppress that part of my personality, creativity found a way to sneak back into my life. I’m not sure how to answer except that I just feel fulfilled when I’m working on a story. What is it about creating stories that moves your soul? I love to combine adventure, mystery, romance, humor, and faith to create edifying books that teens will enjoy. As they get to know each other, they become entangled in a mystery set in the town’s abandoned gold mine. Sophie, an aspiring journalist, is not thrilled when the famous snowboarder’s arrival disrupts her quiet hometown. As he struggles with instant fame, his parents move him to a small Colorado mountain town. Jake is a Silver-medal winning snowboarder. My first novel was Perfect Blindside which is the story of teenagers Jake and Sophie. Your teen books take the Christian reader through many exciting adventures.
