Welcome to my website!
I am the author of nine books and contributor to numerous other books. My new novel, Charlotte’s Honor, is the second in the Great War-Great Love series and is available now. The first, Julia’s Gifts, was released in November of 2017. The third in the series will be released in late 2019.
I am also an editor, speaker, publisher, interior book designer (print and Kindle), book coach and transcriber. If you’re interested in any of these services, please click here.
I was recently honored to be a recipient of the my Alma Mater’s Hall of Fame (Triton Regional High School, Class of ’77).
I am past President of the Catholic Writers Guild (2012-2015). I’ve appeared numerous times on EWTN’s Bookmark with Doug Keck, EWTN radio and other Catholic TV and radio shows. An occasional presenter at Catholic conferences, I enjoy speaking on a variety of topics: Pregnancy Loss, Theology of the Body, Responsible Parenthood, Natural Family Planning and various writing topics.
My husband, James Hrkach, and I are the parents of five adult sons and we live in Pakenham, Ontario Canada. We are on the Diocesan Marriage Preparation Team and we currently teach Theology of the Body to the Grade 9 classes at St. Joseph’s High School in Renfrew, Ontario.
