Hi there. If you are wondering how the series 'Journey To The Sheepfold' came about, well, the story is rather incredible. It came as a download for me. All three books in the series were featured in merely a few minutes, with just the titles and names of the chapters, the map, the names of places, some of which I later discovered were real places in the world like The Three Sisters which I discovered when visiting Australia. The problem was, there was no plot revealed at the time and no chapter content, just the names of twelve chapters for the first book, twelve chapters for the second book and ten chapters for the third book of which the last chapter I knew would contain music. Now I don't know how to write a word of music, so I knew a download of that would have to come when the timing was right.

When it came to writing the chapters, which I rebelled doing at first, since no self respecting author writes without a plot, the words sometimes would flow easily and the chapters would somehow get written. In other chapters, the writing of it was like pulling teeth, and I would be crying out to The Lord, "Help Lord! I have no idea what is to be in this chapter." So you see, the books that have been written are to me a creative miracle.

The first book, Part 1 'The Seed Is Planted' grew from twelve chapters to forty, perhaps typifying walking in the wilderness. Book 2 'From Sapling To Flower' ran twenty eight chapters. Book 3, Part 3, I intend by God's Grace to write in ten chapters and to Him goes all the glory for these three books in the trilogy. Blessed be The Lord God On High.

It was only after finishing Book 2, Part 2 of Journey To The Sheepfold, that the plot outline was revealed to me. You know what, had it been revealed initially, I might never have attempted to write the books. The plot was so involved!

Anyway, here we are. I am simple person, although some don't think that. I write and some say I am gifted. I like to write on hearts if possible and communicate that which is good. I love nature, the environment, adaptation of animals to their environment. One of my favorite places in the world lies in Southern Argentina near a little inn named El Pilar, where many hanging glaciers adorn The Fitzroy Mountains and the moraine peters out to rich grassy areas before being enveloped in rocky folds. I enjoy travel and the experiences that come from that and the cultures one meets. I like music and books and meeting children of all ages. I am blessed beyond measure by a God who loves me, by a family who is very precious to me and by friends who enrich my life, and I want to shine God's Light and Love out to the world.
