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. While I write, serve my church, and supposedly take care of the house during the week, Tim teaches philosophy and classical theology at The Davenant Institute and ethics at Gateway Seminary. He’s the love of my life and the order in my chaos.
I spend most of my time 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 brand 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. I no longer have time for a busy rehearsal schedule that accompanies theater, but I enjoy singing at church and introducing my kids to old movie musicals. I keep telling myself I’ll go back to doing theater again someday.
Other little tidbits about me: I’m currently in seminary, I love Jesus, audiobooks, tea, speculative fiction, dark chocolate, Jane Austen, Anne Bronte, and Studio Ghibli films!
