Caroline’s Purpose
Caroline’s Purpose was my first book—the story that started it all. 💛
It’s the beginning of Caroline’s journey: faith tested, purpose uncovered, and hope quietly growing when the path isn’t clear.
If you haven’t read it yet, now is the perfect time. Read it now, so you’re ready for what comes next.
Coming in 2026
After the last few months of 2025 were full of sticky notes, several dozen pages of a legal pad, an outline that got reworked four times, running out of ink in pen after pen, and flipping through Caroline’s Purpose checking on little details… I’m pleased to say that something exciting is coming in 2026. Stay tuned!
Remembering What it Feels Like to Fly
“A smile spread across Caroline’s face, for so many reasons. Because of her mother’s praise. Because she had just cleared an oxer set to 3’9”. Because she had finally let determination overcome fear. But most of all, because she was starting to remember what it felt like to fly.”
Just a small sneak peak of what I’ve been writing lately. Still have a ways to go! This video is from nine years ago today.

Meet Luna, aka Goldee
Luna, the weanling Caroline and Connor are assigned to work with in Caroline’s Purpose, is also based off of one of my personal horses. Goldee was my assigned horse in the University of Arizona Equine Sciences program. Goldee is a Thoroughbred, and can be as sweet and sassy as Luna in the book. In Chapter 2, Luna is introduced as ”the dark bay thoroughbred filly with the crescent moon shaped marking on her head.” You can see here in Goldee’s pictures that she looks exactly like Luna in the book.
