For I am the Lord
your God
Isaiah 43:1-3
Jesus is the Christ
My passion is writing Christian historical fiction, suspense, westerns for adults and young adults set in the 1890s and 1920s.
I love everything about the Harvey Girls, the Butcher Boys, the Southwestern Indian Detour Couriers, and Grace Livingston Hill.
When I’m not writing or editing fiction for Elk Lake Publishing, Inc., I photograph tombstones for Findagrave.com.

A Collection of Everyday Miracles
An anthology compiled by Author Lynn Moffett
A Book of Remembrance is a collection of miracles to bring Hope to a world in crisis. Sometimes we experience God's awe-inspiring moments in the midst of the heartbreakingly ordinary, and other times, we’re on the mountain when it moves. Both lead to change in people’s lives and often their concept of God Himself.
My story A Prayer Away is on page 141.

Dry Diggins, California, June 1849
Ask any man in Dry Diggins and he'll tell you Jo Bass is quite a gal. She's got a head for cyphering, an eye for gold, and she's not married.
Twenty-two-year-old Mildred Josephine "Jo" Bass and her brother Thaddeus co-own Pike's Bank and Assay Office. Backed by their father's bank in New York, they're already a trusted source for accurate assays, secure deposits, and fair gold exchange. The teller cage bars and lye water pail keep the miners at bay. Her .31 caliber pocket model revolver is a deterrent as well.
