The Most Powerful Stories Are…
Compelling…thought provoking…transforming.
As a storyteller, I focus in three areas.
Author
I have published four non-fiction Christian books, two humor driven, Christian detective novels: Soul Pursuit and Finding Grace, and an exegetical Bible Study on Philippians for indivduals & small groups. View them on the books page of this website. I’ve also written, directed, and produced humorous skits and dramas for church events. You can view, purchase, and download them for a modest fee from the drama page.
Blogger
When I first started blogging, posts generally supported my freelance copywriting business. Now they are published weekly and address relevant topics related to the Christian faith. Primarily rooted in scripture, they strive to encourage the church and proclaim the gospel. View them on the blog page of this website and leave a comment.
Copywriting
Are you a thought leader? Need a seasoned ghostwriter to share your expertise as online content? Let’s talk.
I speak in a warm, friendly, and conversational voice. And my 20+ years of experience includes a variety of materials across different platforms for diverse industries.
But it’s my humor writing that sets me apart. To compose clever captions with play on words, weave exaggeration and understatement into funny stories, and reform clichés with a surprising twist. To make your audience smile, chuckle, and laugh out loud. And of course, click on your links.
