Hey, there! Thanks for stopping by!
I would offer you a cup of coffee, but all I have is tea. (Earl Grey’s my favorite.)
Back in 2010, I married my love, Tim Jacobs, at the church I grew up in. We now have three very rambunctious children who make our lives crazy and beautiful. I also spend of my time writing, serving on my church’s worship team, and working at a theater. Tim teaches classical theology/philosophy at The Davenant Institute and ethics at Gateway Seminary. He’s the love of my life and the order in my chaos!
I love reading and writing a mixture of fantasy, science fiction, theology, and ethics. All of those things are fascinating to me on their own, but some of my favorite things to write about are the intersection of them all. Topics such as faith and creativity, story ethics, and the theology of magic are just a few things I’ve written about over at Lorehaven. If you sign up for my newsletter, you’ll get all the updates on the release of my book, On Magic and Miracles: A Theological Guide to Discerning Fictional Magic—coming out July 1, 2025 from B&H!

I am also embarking on a new journey of freelance developmental editing for fiction. Click the “Editing” tab above for more information about my editing services.
I have a B.A. in Theater Arts and a background in vocal performance, musical theater, and costume design. When my kids were little, I didn’t have time for a busy rehearsal schedule that accompanies theater, but I enjoyed singing at church and introducing my kids to old movie musicals. By God’s grace, I was finally able to return to theater professionally. I now perform in a murder mystery dinner theater on occasion as well as help to run the costume department at a professional theater near Palm Springs, CA.
Other little tidbits about me: I’m currently in seminary (on the slow road), I have ADHD, I love Jesus, audiobooks, movies, tea, speculative fiction, musicals, dark chocolate, Jane Austen, Anne Bronte, and Studio Ghibli!
