My Story

Hey there! I’m Carrie,

and I’m so glad you stopped here to find out more about me.

Over the years, God rewrote my dreams from being a corporate accountant (or FBI agent taking down the bad guys) to being a stay-at-home mom and a writer. Okay, so I came kicking and screaming part (a lot) of the way, but I’m so thankful that God persisted.

I am a military wife. Or, more accurately, a former military wife. After Basic, two Tech Schools, three duty stations and ten years in the military, my husband medically retired. He is now a government employee on Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, so we still get to hang out and support our active duty members.

We have three children, all figuring out their own adult lives. Besides writing books, I play with my grandchildren, try to keep up with family and friends, and cram in as much reading as I can.

My Writing

More than anything, I strive to write encouraging books. My fiction is purposely clean, happily-ever-after, gentle romance stories that show practical Christianity. My nonfiction is hard-hitting truth but written with great love. I challenge every Christian to find the faith to fight life’s battles, which includes living abundantly, dreaming big with God, and believing you are meant for more.

You’ll see a lot of my heart and values in my weekly blog posts. I like to post about great books and what’s going on in the publishing world that readers should know about, and every great once in a while I hand the reins over to a friend who challenges me to keep seeking Christ. God’s taught me many things that I want to share with you, and I know He still has a lot to teach me. It’s going to be an incredible journey! Will you join me?
