1. Why do you write about broken characters and dark themes as a Christian author?

Because grace shines brightest in the cracks. My stories don’t shy away from pain, betrayal, or moral struggle—because I’ve lived them. Faith isn’t a platitude in my books; it’s the lifeline my characters cling to when their world fractures. Just as God met me in my own brokenness, I want readers to see that no heart is too damaged for redemption.

2. How do you balance faith and fiction without being preachy?

Truth should feel lived, not lectured. My characters wrestle with doubt, make messy choices, and sometimes rage against God—because real faith isn’t tidy. Spiritual themes emerge organically through their struggles, just as they do in life. I aim to write stories where faith breathes, not sermons that suffocate the plot.

3. What draws you to historical settings?

History is haunted by the same longings we carry today: love, justice, forgiveness. By anchoring my stories in the past, I can explore timeless battles of the soul with fresh stakes—whether it’s a 19th-century widow fighting for survival, or a social outcast grappling with guilt. Plus, the shadows of history make grace feel all the more miraculous.

4. Your books span genres (mystery, romance, paranormal). How do you choose what to write next?

I follow the stories that won’t let me sleep! Whether it’s a haunting whisper from the past or a love story that defies odds, I’m drawn to tales where emotional and spiritual stakes run high. Genre is just the vessel; the heartbeat is always redemption—sometimes tender, sometimes bloodstained, but always relentless.

5. What’s the one thing you hope readers take from your books?

That they’re not alone. My characters carry wounds, secrets, and regrets—but they also discover that grace doesn’t wait for us to “fix” ourselves. If even one reader closes my book and thinks, Maybe God isn’t done with me either, then I’ve done my job.
