Finishing the Journey

As an adult convert to Catholicism, I’m impressed with teens who make the decision to go through the RCIA program to join the Church. Their dedication and commitment is inspiring. For this story, I thought it would be fun to explore that idea, and Liz proved to be the perfect character to use. She and her best friend, Josie, can be found in my full-length novel, Into the Spotlight (formerly An Unexpected Role).

While I was writing this story, my father, Glenn, was very sick—in the last stages of life. He had always been a huge supporter of my writing—eagerly reading my stories as soon as they came out and sharing them with his friends. Making him a character in this story seemed like a wonderful way to honor him. He was not able to see this story in print, but I was able to share it with him. I hope you enjoy this glimpse into the life of a very special man.
