Freelance Writer. Author. Storyteller. Keeper of Stories.

My greatest joy is serving the Lord and spending time with my family.  I am Mama to Jill and Daniel and Granna to four beautiful grandchildren. I serve in my church as a Children’s Sunday School and Vacation Bible School teacher along with leading a Women's Bible study.  I have also been blessed with the opportunity to write and direct several of my church's Christmas plays. 

 

Along with my writing and photography, I love spending time outdoors, gardening, and visiting farmers’ markets, and farms. I write farming and agriculture stories and share those on Farmer Rhodes Granddaughter.  I spend many hours reading and enjoy browsing used bookstores and sales for children’s books and old books where past readers have shared their thoughts and notes in the margins and on empty pages. 

 

I'm also a former journalist where I served as a sports and features writer for a local newspaper in my hometown. I continue to freelance for different publications and non-profits.
