Welcome!

Thank you for stopping by my corner of the internet.

I’m a joyfully redeemed Christ follower, multi-published author of inspirational fiction and encouraging non-fiction. Life hasn’t always been easy. Yet through every storm, God’s unwavering love has been my anchor. He’s turned my ashes into stories, my pain into purpose, and my questions into pages of hope.

Whether through novels or straight-from-the-heart encouragement, my goal is simple: to point readers to the One who never leaves us, who writes beauty into every broken chapter. When I’m not at my desk dreaming up stories, you might find me savoring quiet moments in nature (my favorite “God Hugs”).

I’d love for you to join me on this wild, grace-filled journey. Dive into a book, sign up for occasional updates on new releases, or reach out if you’d like me to share my testimony or speak at your event.

With love and gratitude,

Lisa

Can a chef with a wounded past and a tech genius find hope, healing, and love in a small Tennessee town?

Sarah Livingstone has spent her life running from her mother’s chaos, from heartbreak, and from believing she’s worthy of a fresh start. When she lands a job at Rosie’s Restaurant in Garden Valley, she hopes her culinary skills will finally open the door to belonging.

Peter Edwards, a brilliant AI programmer, is new to town and searching for more than just career success. But even as he codes solutions by day, Peter is searching for connection, meaning, and a love as genuine as the family he cherishes.

As their worlds collide, Sarah and Peter must confront old wounds and daring new dreams. Together, can they discover that sometimes the best recipes for love and faith are the ones you never planned?

A heartwarming story of second chances, found family, and the courage to take a leap of faith.

Clues, Crushes, and Second Chances

Who knew romance could be this complicated? Or this much fun.

It all began with the murder of her hamster, Aloysius P. Higginbotham, or at least, that’s when Georgia Shaffer’s passion for solving mysteries was born. Now a P.I. in the charming town of Garden Valley, Tennessee, she spends her days untangling small-town secrets, running background checks, and dodging unwanted advances at her family’s outdoor shop. Mysteries she could handle but when it came to her heart, Georgia didn’t have a clue.

Clint Briscoe’s goals for moving to Garden Valley after his ex-girlfriend’s betrayal were to care for his grandfather, fix fences, manage the cattle, and guard his heart by avoiding women. Yet when a string of thefts brings an unexpected reunion with Georgia, the sparks fly faster than the bugs that seem to chase her everywhere. Clint’s determined to keep his guard up, but Georgia’s warmth and wit challenge his resolve.

As secrets and emotions collide, can two insecure and wounded hearts solve the biggest mystery of all — having the courage to take a second chance on love?

Quirky characters, a hefty dose of small-town charm, and a touch of mystery make Clues, Crushes, and Second Chances a clean romance full of faith, forgiveness, fun, and hope.
