- An unlicensed driver. His dad’s truck. What could possibly go wrong?

nor anything secret that shall not be known and come to light.” (Luke 8:17 RSV-CE)
A Stay With Me Giveaway for National Park Week, 2018
April 21-29 is National Park Week in the U.S.! I love our national parks and hope to visit many more than the few I’ve been blessed to experience.
My favorite is Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. I even set some scenes from my novel Stay With Me there!
To celebrate, I’m giving away an Audible audiobook copy of Stay With Me across all of my author platform. To be entered, comment below, and I will enter you in a random drawing. Winner to be announced May 1, 2018.
Stay With Me is a contemporary (Catholic) Christian romance that leans a little more spicy than sweet. Although perfectly “clean” by most standards, it’s what I call a Theology of the Body romance and, as such, sexuality is treated frankly.
If it sounds like something that appeals to you, comment to enter, and if you know someone else who might enjoy it, tag a friend.
I think Patricia Santomasso did a fantastic job on the narration!

LoveEd Program Empowers Parents to Teach Their Children About Chastity (December 20, 2017)
“The beauty of LoveEd: Raising Kids That Are Strong, Smart and Pure by Coleen Kelly Mast is that it does not seek to minimize the parents’ role in educating their children about chastity but instead empowers them to excel at it. It does so by offering materials and a format that encourage the frank, meaningful dialogue necessary to teach our children fundamental, critical lessons about the truth and meaning of human sexuality in a manner that is engaging and appealing.”
Protecting Young Minds with Good Pictures Bad Pictures (October 17, 2017)
“Using analogies and terms children can understand, seven short chapters cover pornography, addiction, and various aspects of brain function. The book also offers a five-step “CAN DO” plan for children to implement should they be confronted with pornographic images.”
Meatless Friday: Shrimp, Corn, and Potato Foil Packets (September 1, 2017)
“By hitting the local farmers’ market in the afternoon, I had all of the fresh corn on the cob and potatoes I needed for this recipe, which, after some prep time, is quick and easy on the grill.”
