about me

Mother of two wonderful children, wife to a fantastic man.

Unbelievably loved by God and grateful for His grace.

The writing style in Jane: Redefined was inspired by romance authors, Loretta Chase (Lord of Scoundrels) and Eloisa James (The Taming of the Duke), and David Nicholls (One Day).

Cover design: Bradley Wind (Authonomy member). He's an incredibly talented guy!

favourite books

I'm a sucker for romance. Books written by Loretta Chase, romance author, are hilarious! Especially her earlier ones.

Also a romance author, Eloisa James uses her background as an English professor in Shakespearean literature to infuse a lot of classic poetry and imagery in her novels. Both are humorous writers in their own ways.

David Nicholls, author of One Day, has written a funny, subtly romantic novel, though, the ending was a shock. He incorporates multiple POVs, making it seem effortless and fluid.

Jane: Redefined

Alice Kim

Jane believes God will forgive her for acting against her convictions in pursuing that dream guy, after all, she's only seeking to save the lost.


High school senior, Jane Emerson, isn’t one to attract attention, especially from the male population. She was perfectly content with that until a humiliating incident catches the eye of her secret crush, Jeremy Jenkins. What’s a people-pleasing, melodramatic, overly-imaginative Christian girl to do? Make Jeremy a mission field, of course!

Go to parties every weekend? Done. Diss your most steadfast friends and pay no mind when one of them is about to drop kick a crowd of touchy, feely drunks? Easy peasy. Lie to the parents, get labeled a “Jesus-freak”, and drink that weird/awful concoction someone calls “orange soda”? Check, check, and check. Be so passionately kissed, it could only be labeled as epic? Absolutely. Being a missionary has its share of dangers and perks.

Despite being blind to the obvious, Jane is blessed with loyal friends. Isaac Martinez won’t let her out of his sight even though it's his kisses that are mistakenly credited to Jeremy. And when Cora Friedman has a heart-to-heart “slut” talk with Jane, everything is poised to change.

Sovannah, Wow, all I can say is: wow. You start off with great suspense, letting the reader wonder what this person predicted for the boy. The dialogue at the fair is believable, fast-paced, well-written. Your writing of the fortune teller scene was suspenseful. The scenes alternating ... view book
