About the book:

Jake and Jesus are best friends. They do everything together. Jake sings praise songs to Jesus because the Bible says Jesus loves a joyful heart. Jake talks to Jesus every day, and not just when kneeling by his bed at night. And one day Jake gave Jesus the best gift of all: his heart.

Learn from Jake and Jesus how you too can become a lifelong friend of our Savior.

Thank you, Kelly, for being with us here today!

How long have you been writing?

I wrote my first story back in 1998. That story is the one I've recently had published with Tate Publishing.

Tell us how you come up with characters.

Jake in a way reprents my son. Although it's dedicated and inspired by all three of my children.

What advice or tips do you have for writers who are just getting started?

My advice for writers just starting out, like myself, is never give up! If God put it on your heart and it's His will, it will happen. He doesn't say it will be tomorrow, next week, or even a year from now. Just keep praying and God will do the rest.

Of the books you’ve written, which is your favorite and why?

I've written a couple more books but they are not published yet. I'm hoping they will be someday. I don't have a favorite per say. I like them all. Each one is very different and special in and of its self.

Tell us about your latest book.

Jake & Jesus is a book written with young children in mind. It's a book that tells of a friendship between a little boy and his best friend: Jesus.

Favorite scripture and/or quote:

I don't really have a favorite scripture verse, but James is my favorite book of the Bible.
