BOOKS
Sam Larsen Mysteries
Detective Sam Larsen is faced with her most challenging case when a murder in her jurisdiction appears to be related to an unsolved case she faced many years earlier in another state. Adding insult to injury, it appears that the cases have another very personal and heartrending twist that involves a person she loves.
The Chrysalis Chronicles
The late, great Betty White once said:
“Butterflies are like women. We may look pretty and delicate, but we can fly through a hurricane.”
The butterfly symbolizes resurrection or rebirth. What starts out as a squirmy, wormy looking caterpillar, transforms through the process of metamorphosis, after emerging from a chrysalis where it spends time developing into a beautiful butterfly. My story is one of that process, and I spent many years inside my chrysalis, preparing for my transformation.
This is a story of resilience, faith and encouragement. It is my prayer that you can benefit from my experiences and gain encouragement to endure your own storms.
