about me

I am a teacher for pay and a writer for fun who seeks to reverse the two.

I'm most likely to read books in the YA, Christian/Religious, and Fiction genres.

My English teacher alter-ego, The Grammar Hag, often accompanies me when I read books, particularly in our three crit groups. The Hag and I write honest, thorough reviews after reading at least three chapters. We catch typos and missing punctuation and the like. We do not provide ego-massages, unless we feel your book belongs on the shelves of the local bookstore.

While I currently live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, as the child of an actual Brit (my father was born in Glasgow) I am fully bi-lingual and can read both British and American English. However, I'll read your British, New Zealander, and Aussie books while you are asleep. Canadians receive live service.

A number of people have asked why my book is set in 1975. It seems an odd year for a setting. Here's the answer: I've written three books, each of which includes the Monahan children. The first one I wrote set the calendar for the books.

The colorful, wonderful cover was created by the gifted and awesome Bradley Wind.

Forgiveness Fits

Audrey Bennett

Caroline and Paul understand the importance of forgiveness.
Until their enemies do something unforgivable.


Paul Corbin lies bruised and broken in a hospital room, the victim of a savage beating. His girlfriend, Caroline MacDougall, finally knows how far her detractors will go to hurt her. What began as the bullying of the new girl now threatens the people she loves.

Paul’s injuries, intended to destroy his chances of a football scholarship, heal, and his relationship with Caroline grows ever stronger. The two of them find comfort in their love for each other, and prepare to forgive the perpetrators.

And then the bullies do something much worse.

FORGIVENESS FITS is complete at 90,000 words.

Hi, there – this is a return review from AudreyB. I am often accompanied on my reviews by my English teacher alter-ego, The Grammar Hag. If I say anything you don’t like, it was probably her idea. I am no expert on the Long Pitch, but yours reads more like a synopsis than a pitch. You want to ... view book

I almost never stop to read books as I send my welcome message to our newest members, but your pitch caught my attention. I have never read a book that sheds light on the terrible decisions we sometimes must make in our darkest hours. When my mother's family fled their home to get out of the way o... view book

This is beautiful. As I read your story of growing up in a large, loving, Christian family in a small town, I felt envy for you and your great good fortune. I grew up with an alcoholic father who was in the military, and it was easy to believe that kids who never moved and who had 'good' dads were... view book
