Hi, friend! Thanks for stopping by.
I would offer you a cup of coffee, but all I have is tea. Earl Grey’s my favorite!
Back in 2010, I married my love, Tim Jacobs, at the church I grew up in. We now have three very rambunctious children who make our lives crazy and beautiful. While I write, serve my church, and supposedly take care of the house during the week, Tim teaches philosophy and classical theology at The Davenant Institute. He’s the love of my life and the order in my chaos.
I spend most of my time reading and writing a mixture of fantasy, science fiction, theology, and ethics. All of those things are fascinating to me on their own, but some of my favorite things to write about are the intersection of them. Topics such as faith and creativity, story ethics, and the theology of magic are just a few things I’ve written about over at Lorehaven. If you sign up for my newsletter, you’ll get all the updates on the release of my book on the theology of the supernatural and discerning fictional magic—coming out July 1, 2025 from B&H!
I have a B.A. in Theater Arts and a background in vocal performance, musical theater, and costume design. I no longer have time for a busy rehearsal schedule that accompanies theater, but I enjoy singing with my church’s worship team and introducing my kids to old movie musicals. It’s still a dream of mine to one day play Marian the Librarian in The Music Man!
Other little tidbits about me: I’m a student at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, I love Jesus, audiobooks, tea, dark chocolate, Jane Austen, Anne Bronte, and Studio Ghibli films!
