​
Ruach Heroes: Chaos to Beauty, 2023.
Young adult/Adult biblical fiction. Cosmic beauty, faith, humor, purpose, unity, vice, and virtues! This ancient sea adventure launches a mission to reduce injustice on land and sea. Rowers seek wisdom via the Golden Bowl stored onboard, and the will of God flashes across a Great Mirror. Captain Hupo battles the elements, sea creatures, pirates, and inner dragons as he tosses buccaneers overboard. Rowers weigh jumping ship in despair or persevering for the common good. Can the Law of Love become Rule of Law on earth? What must happen at the Crystal Sea to bring unity? Is unity worth sacrificial suffering?
(coming) The Multicolor Skirt: Rise Above Betrayal
Non-fiction Women's inspirational memoir, spiritual growth. Like Joseph's multicolor tunic, women who wear the multicolor skirt are blessed to become extravagant lovers of people in a cruel world. Free from victim thinking, we rise above earthly woundedness knowing we are all the wounded and the wounder. No more defensiveness, false guilt, pride, and shame; it's time to dance...love in motion.
This is an integrative spiritual/psychological perspective on the power of God to heal the spirit beyond well-being techniques.

Life is not random as we observe people loving people in despair, refocusing, rebuilding, rewriting, and repairing damage done from others and ourselves. Love is driving the universe toward beauty vs. chaos.
Writing is a way of beholding Him and seeing His image in each other. Storytelling makes heavenly ideas flesh out in ordinary people, whether fictional characters, confidential clients, or memoir from my own experiences. We share the earth and common bonds to explore the vast mysteries God has offered us.
As a therapist for 23 yrs., I enjoy identifying problems blocking joy and finding ways toward peace. I write to bring clarity to human sadness and discover God's truth which sets us free. Jesus came to bring us His joy, and that it would be full.
