MARIA'S MUSINGS


I live in a part of the world that has seasons; winter, spring, summer, and fall. Each season has its benefits and drawbacks. I appreciate the changes from one season to the other, the different wardrobes, the different food and drinks, the different activities, the different land and seascapes. Snow cover is definitely beauty to behold. On Christmas day, we went to a local park, and I was mesmerized by the frozen lake. Although the day was overcast, there is nonetheless a richness in the wonder of God's creation. Don't take for granted what might seem boring or unspectacular. God manifests His power everywhere. Discover God's glory in unexpected places. What is your favorite part of winter? What part of nature captivates your soul?

Not Again Morgan’s Story


Not Again Morgan’s Story, the third novel of the Not Again series, masterfully combines both sweet and edgy elements in this Christian college romance set in 1989 that revolves around games of deceit, lacrosse, and betrayal. 


Morgan is on top of the world when her life comes crashing down. Everything is at risk, including her life. Will Morgan have what it takes to make game-changing moves? Or, will it be the final game over for her?


Find out if she has the survival instincts to be a winner in this enthralling, romantic suspense game called life.

BETTER TOGETHER


How awesome would it be if you were able to help someone because you read a book? Many readers have said that Not Again should be read by everyone. "It was a fantastic read. I think everyone should read it," said an Amazon Reviewer. You may not have experienced trauma, but chances are you know someone who has. Not Again may equip you as it has me to help others.


My four upcoming releases present the gospel in powerful and unique ways. This is your opportunity to take part in the Great Commission. I'm looking for reviewers who will post on Amazon and your choice of social media platforms about my upcoming releases.
