As an author of supernatural thrillers, I spend my days exploring the unknown—unraveling eerie mysteries, encountering restless spirits, and stepping into shadowy realms. But during this Holy Week, I want to take a step back from the fictional unknown to reflect on a truth that grounds me far more deeply than any story ever could.
Holy Week is more than a tradition. It’s a sacred pause. A moment to stop, to breathe, and to remember the story that changed everything. The sacrifice of Jesus, the pain of the cross, the silence of the tomb, and the glory of the resurrection—this is the greatest mystery and the greatest hope.
It reminds me why I write what I write.
My stories are filled with suspense and the supernatural, yes—but at their core, they reflect my belief that light triumphs over darkness. That evil doesn’t get the final word. That there is always something more at work, even when we can't see it. That redemption is real.
I didn’t come into writing the conventional way. Before I ever penned a novel, I worked in administrative roles. I learned to organize, to pay attention to the small things, to be consistent. Those skills serve me well today—but it’s my life experience, my faith, and my love for others (especially animals!) that give my writing soul.
During this Holy Week, I encourage you to take your own sacred pause. Whether it’s through prayer, time with loved ones, time in nature, or simply a quiet moment away from the noise, let this week be a reminder that we are all part of a bigger story.
One of sacrifice. One of hope. One of love stronger than death.
May your Holy Week be filled with peace, reflection, and the assurance that even in our darkest hours, resurrection is possible.
