Do you ever wonder why an author writes the story they do?

Today I want to take you behind the scenes of my book Delayed Justice. It's the only book that comes with a trigger warning. In fact, I wrote the prologue the way I did to quickly let readers know that this book deals with a sensitive issue that isn't for every reader. It was very important to me to deal with it in a careful way that honors readers and people who have walked the road while also acknowledging I haven't. I used many readers who work with this population as well as those who have to make sure I did that well.

While this story is gritty and real, I am also committed to always layering hope into my books. I firmly believe that even in the dark, God is there. This tells the story of a woman who goes after her abuser now that she is no longer a child. Like the other books in this series, there is a theme of protecting children.
