For Annabelle of Anchony: Burdens of the Mind (about to be re-published through Marian Press in June 2019), the idea came from wanting to evangelize (to be able to bring readers closer to Christ)...what setting would be needed for one to have all the time to learn about Christ: how about being on an island?

What inspires me to write is when others ask me what I'm working on/when the next book is coming out. This makes me feel as though the books are having an impact and it inspires me to keep working on whatever I am currently working on.
