What I post -
1. Writing tips, and news from my writing life.
2. Updates and adventures from my personal life.
3. Challenges and thoughts from my spiritual life.
When I post - I try to post once a month, but it has gotten more sporadic of late . . . (since we all need help saving time,) I highly encourage people to subscribe by e-mail so that time isn't wasted checking my blog when you can get my posts delivered to your inbox.
Behind the blog name - When I first started writing, I found out that even when you enjoy something, it can still be REALLY hard. At first I just tried to blunder through it all, but then I realized that I can write as hard as I want, but if I'm doing it alone, it won't amount to much. So yes, I write hard, but I try to pray harder.
Contact or social media - If you want to contact me, you can use the contact form on the sidebar, find me on Facebook or use the comment section of my blog posts. You can also check out my Amazon author page and my Goodreads page.
Current Projects - I'm currently working on a political thriller about a madman prince, and a few other random works-in-progress that are not to be discussed yet. :)
About me - I graduated from Krahn Homeschool in 2015 and am currently living on our family farm. When I'm not working at the coffee shop, traveling the world, or working at Bible camps, I write weekly for our newspaper. Growing up as the youngest of seven, I took advantage of my older siblings' books and reading became a part of me at a young age. With the help and encouragement of my family, I eventually decided to not just read, but to try writing. At first it was just short stories, but my dreams of becoming a published author pushed me forward.
My first book was self-published when I was seventeen, and now, I have fifteen books published, including one through Ambassador International, and the PK Detective series through Sword of the Lord.
Personality wise, I like to describe myself like my purse, bling on one side, camo on the other side, and the cross in the center. Depending on what settings you know me in, you might think of me as a loud tomboy who likes ice hockey, trapping and fishing, or you might think of me as a shy girl who likes bling, shopping, and coffee drinks.
Of course writing is my main hobby, but I also enjoy playing a little bit of piano, (I'm not really good but I enjoy it,) baking, (brownies and cookies are my favorite,) visiting with friends, (especially one-on-one over a coffee drink:) watching movies, (especially old westerns, and mysteries) reading, (especially funny mystery books,) and just being me.
When I'm not writing, or doing one of my hobbies, I can be found around our family farm, working at our family corn maze, or helping with some ministry.
My favorite two Jim Elliot quotes sum up how I feel about life. "Live to the hilt every situation that you find yourself in that you believe to be the will of God." and "When it comes time to die, make sure that's all you have left to do."
I hope you've enjoyed this glimpse into my life!
