Hey there! I’m Hannah.
And, I’m obsessed with words – reading them, writing them, and, most recently, learning to sign them.
Growing up, I was the kid who told stories to my stuffed animals, volunteered at the library every summer, and always carried a book around *just in case* I had a few minutes to spare.
I’m happy to say that not much has changed — except now instead of stuffed animals, I get to share my words with all of you. My hope, more than anything, is that my writing would point others back to the perfect Author, who I believe is writing beautiful stories for each of us, too.
My first Advent book: Damascus
Damascus: An Advent Journey Through the Life and Letters of Paul, published by Hosanna Revival, is a daily devotional that invites us to connect the miracle of Christ’s birth with the gift of our salvation. Inspired by Paul’s dramatic transformation on the road to Damascus in Acts 9, this devotional offers a fresh perspective on the ancient practice of Advent.
Beginning in late November and continuing through the end of the year, Damascus is structured around the four traditional Advent themes of hope, peace, joy, and love, as seen through the lens of Paul’s teachings. At its heart, Damascus proclaims the truth that the Christmas story is also our story—for through Christ’s birth, we are all given the chance to be reborn.
Whether you’ve lost sight of what the Christmas story means for your story, feel overwhelmed by the season before it even begins, or simply want a fresh perspective on Advent, this book is a safe place for you to land. And to remember that there is so much more to the Christmas story than meets the eye.
Children's stories with hope & heart.
Love is much more than a sound.
Celebrate the many ways we experience love in Love Sounds Like, a rhyming children’s bedtime tale featuring a heartfelt conversation between a hearing mother and her deaf son. Inspired by the birth of my son, Shepherd, and my love for both of my boys, this story is an encouraging reminder to all families that we don’t have to experience the world in the same way to experience love.
Love is even stronger than memory.
Step into a world of nostalgia in this beautifully illustrated and intentionally written picture book about a granddaughter spending the day with her Pop Pop, who has dementia. Inspired by my relationship with my grandpa, Pop Pop Is My Hero equips families to navigate conversations about dementia and Alzheimer’s and encourages all readers to embrace the present moment.
