Bio: I’m a bestselling writer and ghostwriter with more than sixty titles to my credit, including the ECPA Christian Book Award Finalist Simply Christmas, along with winners Roar Like a Lion with Levi Lusko and How Great Is Our God with Louie Giglio. My bestselling titles include Easter Is Coming! and Christmas Is Coming! 

I began my writing career at the ripe old age of eight, aspiring to be like my favorite literary heroine, Jo from Little Women—even going so far as to set up a cardboard-box writing desk in the back of her childhood closet. With over twenty-five years of publishing experience as a writer, ghostwriter, and editor, I’ve never tired of the clickety-clack creations of the keyboard. Over the course of my career, I have been blessed to work with some of the biggest names in Christian publishing to create inspirational books for children, teens, and adults.

My husband Jeff and I enjoy a crazy-busy, wonder-filled life in the hilly suburbs of Nashville, Tennessee—along with our family and two feisty little pups who are convinced they are people too.

Bio: “I have been a business and executive leadership coach for almost two decades. I've worked in both the profit and not-for-profit sectors, started two companies and grown a charity from $4m-$10m in revenue leading a team of 30 across two countries. I have travelled the world delivering humanitarian aid to war zones, countries in the grip of economic ruin, famine or displacement. I've seen the best parts of humanity collide with some of the most heartbreaking and I've seen people fighting for survival in some of the most oppressive countries and against some of the most oppressive regimes on the planet.

Through all of this I have become passionate about organisational culture, diversity and creating a sense of safety, belonging and being noticed within teams and companies. I am a firm believer that a leaders role is not to be better than the people they lead, but to get the best out of the people they lead. I am committed to helping people reach their full potential alongside a clarity of purpose.

My latest project is Charitabl. and its focus is the Uberfication of Giving. I am a firm believer that accessibility will always increase the size of a market and if we can remove the barriers to giving people will both give more and give more often, all the while making state of the art technology available to charities of all sizes."
