Ode to the Glory of War: Eternal days of nauseating boredom punctuated by moments of intense terror.

About the Author:
I lead an enduring existence, tracked by lots of twisting roads; at times punctuated by profound grief, but always tempered by the love and grace of the God who sustains it. In half the span of a normal mortal life; I've survived alcoholism, incest and war. My greatest earthly hero is a sixteen year old autistic boy who also has epilepsy; but he's not just any one - he's my son.

On Easter of 2010 we were in a head-on collision. I've always said that if someone's redemption comes out of this car accident; it's worth a couple of broken bones. That's easy to say though when you don't know what the total cost is! I still can't walk independent of a pair of crutches and maybe I never will. Despite all this, I'm ever reminded that so much more happened on Easter Sunday than an MVA; a man named Jesus rose from the dead.

"God when you choose to leave mountains unmoveable. Oh give me the strength to be able to sing - It is well with my soul."

On Sunday March 5, 2017; the police found the body of my estranged husband and son's father in his apartment. He'd committed suicide two days earlier.

"I know Your able and I know You can save through the fire with Your mighty hand; but even if You don't - My hope is You alone. I know the sorrow and I know the hurt would all go away if You just say the word; but even if You don't, my hope is You alone." (MercyMe)

My writing:
Therefore, I think and ponder and write stories of redemption in the science fiction setting. I like space travel, aliens, clone soldiers and Jesus Christ. Combine a couple of those elements together and you can come up with some interesting Christian sci-fi stories!

So for all of you who look at this profile; thus is all you may have ever wanted (or never wanted) to know about "The Righterzpen".
