We’re all called to love and serve our Lord and one another, but picking up our crosses each day can be a poignant, joyous and funny journey, sometimes lonely and difficult, often demanding, but always real--no matter what our denomination. This Web community is about sharing that journey, about inspiring and encouraging and commiserating with each other as we, real people facing real challenges, keep our gazes fixed on finding the blessings in our varied roles as children of God.

I'm a lifelong Catholic and a real woman, married to my school administrator husband for nearly nineteen years and blessed with two beautiful daughters, now in their teens. I’m an active member of my parish. I've been a career writer for the past dozen years, and under various pseudonyms I’ve published twenty-three books in romance mass market, trade paperback and hard cover, winners of such prestigious industry awards as RT BOOKreview Reviewers' Choice, National Readers’ Choice, Holt Medallion, Rendezvous Rosebud, Cataromance Reviewer’s Choice, Reader and Bookbuyers’ Best, Venus Book Club and Best Book of the Year, Award of Excellence and Waldenbooks’ Most Romantic Moment. My books have made bestseller lists and been featured as Doubleday Book Club Selections.

After a diagnosis of staging lung cancer and a healing miracle in my life, I’ve been finding my way closer to our Lord. Surrendering my career to His will is one more step on my journey, and the reality of moving from busy secular author to budding Christian journalist has been surprising in many ways. I want to share those surprises and learn about the things surprising others. Every day is filled with “aha” moments and miracles that come in all shapes and sizes. That's what my new writing projects are about: miracles. Finding the Way is a non-fiction project that will encompass several books, the first of which is Miracles in Every Day. My blog is an ongoing look at these miracles. I'm inviting visitors to share their stories of the miraculous things happening in their lives. I've come up with several different "types" of miracles so far but know there are others . . .

Shadow-Seekers deals with the darker side of miracles and how the devil works to deceive us into believing they don't exist. It's a fiction project about an FBI-type agency battling against the spiritual warfare struggles happening in our country today--struggles all too many people won't acknowledge exist. The Chosen is the first book in the series, and I'll post a release date along with a Web site devoted to the Shadow-Seekers and their missions in the near future. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to getting to know visitors and sharing our stories!
