What type of fiction do I write? I write about ordinary people facing challenges, relying on their faith, and growing along the way. I often include a mentor figure because we all learn from each other. And I always include (at minimum) a romantic subplot because love is the ultimate story. After all, God so loved the world that He gave us His Son. (John 3:16)
