INSIDE THE GIFT BOX

To 2023 site visitors: Welcome!


From an Amazon review of The Gift Counselor:

“It’s a masterfully woven story full of hope despair, faith and deep love. Also noteworthy is the ability to share the author’s feelings of tenderness toward children and psychological observations. Before you give one more gift, you must read this beautiful story first!”

Publishers Weekly Indie Spotlight endorsed this debut novel as “goodwill for adults.” 

Both Gift Counselor novels are now available digitally on Kobo, apple, & Barnes and Noble! And most online book stores.
