As we stand on the threshold of an optimistic 2024, I've found that gratitude isn't just a word—it's a lifeline. Our latest podcast episode takes you on a journey through our personal battles, as our family grappled with challenges from our dog's mishap to a broken furnace, and how a thankful heart has been our compass. We'll also chat about the playful intricacies of leap year birthdays in my Redemption of Green Pines series, where these rare dates weave their magic into the lives of my characters, with a special nod to my daughter's creative influence on their development.

Navigating through the pages of the sixth book in my series, we uncover the deepening spiritual battles and emotional healing of our protagonist, Sean. Alongside characters like Officer Dave and Ariana, Sean's struggles with PTSD become a lens for us to explore the authenticity of faith in the face of trauma. Join us as I open up about overcoming writer's burnout and the inventive strategies that breathe life into these narratives, culminating in the richly deserved triumphs our characters earn.

Stepping into the more personal realms, I'll share how the transformation of my characters mirrors the evolution within my own family, creating a legacy that infuses my stories with love and familiarity. Our discussion meanders through the serendipitous path that led me to Young Adult fiction, the providential inspiration behind it, and the growth of a standalone idea into a universe teeming with interconnected tales. As we mark the fourth anniversary of our podcast, we extend an invitation to you, our cherished listeners, to join our community and connect with us for prayer and encouragement.
