I love the life I was given, no matter how difficult things can get. During my mother's pregnancy with me she was electrocuted in the basement of our home, she suffered third-degree burns all over her body. Thank God she survived and so did I!

As a 6-year-old girl, my parents divorced and my father was no longer in the picture. I nearly lost my mother when I was ten. She was in a horrific car accident and her live-in boyfriend died on impact. Life was disastrous. Like a butterfly in a hurricane, all the love, comfort, and security I once knew had vanished. But then there was God who stood in the whirlwind with me and directed the storm. HIS hand of providence was and still is my anchor and the rainbow at the end of every storm. During my elementary school days, three of my poems were chosen for our school's Literary Poetry book. My first storybook was written at the age of ten. I still have the original copy.

I am a wife, mother, sister, aunt and Yia Yia! I have three children and five grandchildren who call me Yia Yia. In Greek it means grandma. I married my Greek high school sweetheart now husband of 43 years. I've owned and operated a home-based Daycare and preschool for over two decades. I have worked with families as a Guardian Ad Litem for the state of Florida. My passion is helping the least of these see their true value and inner worth according to who God says they are. I also enjoy evangelism, tutoring and mentoring students in literacy fluency, comprehension and inflection. I began writing Children's books after the birth of my third child. We would laugh in bed as I told silly stories. Now, I have three books on Amazon with five waiting to be Illustrated. A Noble Global Quest was recently translated into Spanish. My passion is sharing the love of Jesus. I have traveled to India, Thailand, Israel, Kenya, and places in the USA as a missionary where I participated in leading many students to Christ through our interactive summer programs. I can't help but see the calling of God in my life while staring into the eyes of innocence created in God's image.

While this book is cloaked with fantasy, mystery, and adventure, the allegorical intent is to arm our children spiritually, to protect them from the demonic angelic rebellion taking place against them, God, His Son, and His creation. Like never before, we're seeing "spiritual wickedness in high places" and "rulers of the darkness of this world" polluting the hearts, minds, and souls of our children in broad daylight. My desire is for those who read my books to become engaged in the word of God and to walk in the presence of the Holy Spirit by putting on the full Armor of God!
