     Welcome to CHALLENGES

at the Crossroads of Humanity

                         where forgiveness is forgotten

                                              and survival is a battle.

In these days of global unrest and the free world's war on terrorism, it is time to pay tribute to our fallen soldiers killed in lands far from home. Men and women, who have sacrificed their lives and futures for God, country, family and friends.

What better way than to go back to the wars of the 20th Century, when patriotism rang in our hearts because every freedom our ancestors preserved for us was at great risk, depending on whether the Third Reich, the Japanese or the Soviet Union developed the atomic bomb before the Allies? The Allies won that contest, but the threat of maverick forces using nuclear weapons to gain their own ends remain with us today.

We know war is not fair. War is not just. War is hell on earth.

So, what drives an ordinary person to do extraordinary things in times of war? Why do people step up to the plate so willingly when called upon to do their duty? And even more significantly, what happens when everything they believe in fails? At the crossroads of humanity, faith and beliefs are shattered. The victims of atrocities can never forget what they have endured, so as long as victim and perpetrator seek retribution against the other, true peace can never be achieved.

What's the answer? This question sets up what my novels explore: The true power of forgiveness and our struggle to achieve it.

My vision is to write about heroines who overcome betrayal and perilous odds to find lasting love in 20th Century stories that explore intriguing plot twists in wartime settings.

For intrigue that keeps you guessing, I hope you will check out this website to learn more about me and the latest about my books and works in progress.

                                   Marching in faith,
