Welcome!

All my life, I’ve been known as a STORYTELLER. Through my stories, you can escape the ordinariness of everyday life and explore a world you may never have imagined visiting; you can SOAR. You will see life through the eyes of a Romanian teenager during the Cold War, a lifer in San Quentin with no hope of being released, or a missionary trying to make a difference in a strange new world.

At first glance, these books may seem disconnected, but they share a common thread. I tell hope-filled redemption stories, both made up and true, about people who seek freedom from oppression.

Historical fiction for young adults. Adriana is a Romanian teenager in the 1980s, who lives in a place where someone is always watching and listening, a place cut off from the rest of the world, a place where God does not exist. Everything changes when she steps through a wardrobe into a room, hidden in the wall, filled with stacks of banned books.
