About Me
The saints weren’t that much different from you and me in many ways: They loved their families and friends… and sometimes, struggled with them. They were confident and driven… except when they were uncertain and frightened. But they had rock-solid faith, and ours can become stronger by learning about their lives.
I’m the author of four books about saints, male and female. And when I’m not writing about them, I love delving into women’s spirituality issues. See my bio for a full list of my books.
I am a regular contributor to Living Faith, CatholicMom, Your Daily Tripod, and Women in the New Evangelization (WINE). Check out the short and loooong (that’s not a typo) versions of my bio if you like. You’ll also find a downloadable photo of me.

About Speaking
Looking for someone to speak to your women’s group, parish, or retreat? I’m your woman! Take a look at the topics on which I generally speak. I can tailor my presentation to your needs — anywhere from a full-blown weekend retreat to a 30-minute interactive discussion, virtual or face to face. I’m happy to tailor any presentation to your group’s needs. I’ve spoken to audiences of more than 1,500, and as intimate as ten. References and a letter of good standing provided upon request.
Since I own a Catholic women’s conference myself, I’m very sensitive to financial constraints and am happy to work within your budget.
About Media
You might also be interested in my YouTube channel, Rejoice! Be Glad!, which features videos related to my books and more.
If you’re a reporter looking for someone to interview via email or phone, I’m happy to help. You can find some past appearances and interviews on my media page.
