ABOUT TRICIA

Tricia the Author:

Using her own experiences as a teen mother, and leader of today’s generation, Tricia’s vision is to be a voice of hope and possibility for teenage girls, pregnant teen girls, mothers and wives through her educational and inspirational speaking, workshops and books. Her intention is to serve ordinary women by encouraging extraordinary things with God’s help. Tricia expresses real life, real hope, for real women.
 
Tricia is the author of 25 books and has published over 300 articles for national publications such as Guideposts for Kids, Focus on the Family, Christian Parenting Today, Today’s Christian Woman and HomeLife Magazine. She won Historical Novel of the Year in 2005 and 2006 from American Christian Fiction Writers, and was honored with the Writer of the Year award from Mt. Hermon Writer's Conference in 2003. Tricia's book Life Interrupted was a finalist for the Gold Medallion Book Award in 2005.

In her fiction novels, Tricia writes contemporary and historical stories that feature strong women overcoming great challenges. She recreates historic wartime eras with precise detail through perseverant and comprehensive research.

Each of her World War II and Spanish Civil War novels tell the inspiring stories of engaging characters—and a God whose hand is evident in the landscape of history and the obstacles of ordinary lives.

Tricia speaks to groups interested in these eras, with the intention of preserving and honoring the memory of the men and women who served.

She also speaks and conducts workshops for teens around the nation, and offers programs to assist teens and teen moms. Tricia is a frequent workshop presenter at the MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) International Convention, and the founder of Hope Pregnancy Ministries in Northwestern Montana. 

In 2010, she was selected as one of the Top 20 Moms To Follow on Twitter by SheKnows.com.  Tricia also writes as the Little Rock Christian Fiction Examiner for Examiner.com and is on the blogging team at MomLifeToday.com.

Tricia at Home:

All the books she's written and accolades and awards she's received pale in comparison to Tricia's greatest joy: her family. 

Tricia is married to the love of her life, John, and they have four great kids.

She homeschooled their oldest, Cory, through graduation, and has two more to go! They make their home in Arkansas with their dogs, Lilly and Jake.

In addition to writing, Tricia enjoys sharing Jesus' love through volunteering as a mentor for teenage moms in her community, and ministering in the Czech Republic on regular missions trips.

She also leads children's church every week with the rest of her family.
