Life Changing Encounters Through Prophetic Fiction: Church Love


I never 'saw' myself as a writer. It was prophesied to me that I would write when I was 17. I did not release my first novel until I was 26. God's Word has continued to come to pass. I write something they don't have a category for--yet: Prophetic Fiction. God speaks through these stories. I write while fasting and praying and I feel the presence of the Lord while writing. I always pray that people would read these novels and encounter God in the midst of them. Here is one such encounter:

Hello, I just wanted to write you because I have finished Church Love, Book Three. I tell you those books have been with me through it all. As I wrote you a while back I was running away from marriage like I stole something! Since then I had been stressed and obsessed with NOT getting married. I said boldly I have a choice! I'm choosing my way own way! I know a better way! God you can have anything else but just let me do this part! 

I was completely out of control. Yet I was reading your books living through the lives of August and Aliya and their friends secretly wondering what it was like to be loved. A lot of those girls were like me, and the book even helped know what to look for in a husband. With just a few chapters left my friend confronted me and I had some serious repentance. I was able to let go of my fears, selfishness and let God have HIS WAY. I was genuinely sorry. 

So, thank you so much. There was a line in the book that said if marriage is a part of God's plan for your life you have to trust Him and be okay with it. I was so floored. I knew I had to change my ways. My own way was driving me crazy. And even now I can't say I'm ecstatic but I can say that I trust God with my heart and my life. I even testified at church. So many doors have opened for my job, my book and my heart has softened towards Jesus once again. Your books are an inspiration to live for God. - NH, Reader


This is what it is all about! I never tire of hearing how God has changed a life, restored a marriage, healed a heart, given hope for the future through Church Love. It is entirely God's doing and it is marvelous in his eyes! It also inspires me to complete the last novel in this series! God loves his people so much, and desires to win our hearts, even if he has to use a novel to do so. 

Until we meet in Savannah, 

Blessings and Church Love

Church Love Celebration


Let Me Say first and foremost, THANK YOU! As I am author, editor, and publisher for my company along with a small team of faithful individuals, I do want to say thank you for bearing with the process of writing and producing a quality work.

We are celebrating TEN years of Church Love! I cannot believe it has been a DECADE! My heart swells every time I get a message from a new reader who has just been introduced to Savannah and the wonders of Savannah, GA.

God continues to amaze me with how He has used this prophetic fiction series to transform lives. I am looking forward to the final release of the series and a Church Love devotional is in the works as well.

In the meantime, God has done something equally amazing by allowing me to co-author an e-book with my husband, Robert Charles! It is Volume 1 of the Church Love B.L.I.S.S. series, a series dedicated to extracting some of those principles intertwined in Church Love to give you the Biblical bearings and framework for my story.

I pray that you will purchase an E-book and that the teaching will enhance your life and those of your friends as well.
