About

. . .

Welcome, friend! I’m so glad you’ve found your way to my site. I’m April. I hope you’ll pour a cup of coffee (or tea, or whatever you like best) and settle in for a while. Let’s get to know one another!

I’m passionate about “after happily-ever-after” love stories, about finding joy in suffering, and about the sacred ordinary moments in life that bring us closer to God. I craft historical fiction stories, and I’m currently querying my debut novel. If you want to follow along on my writing journey, be sure to sign up for my newsletter.

When I’m not reading or writing, I love to hike, do crafts of all kinds (especially knitting), garden, and eat chocolate and black licorice. My favorite people in the world are my husband and three teens (yes, teens can be amazing people). They’re my first editors, beta readers, and critics for everything I write, so you can always know my stories have passed the Barcalow Four litmus test (which also means they’re always clean and appropriate for young audiences).

I’d love to hear from you at any of the social links below. Getting to know new bookish friends is one of my favorite parts of this writing adventure!

Thanks for stopping by,
