The Harvest

For the past decade I have tried my hand at writing novels. Writing, reviewing, editing, reviewing again, scrapping projects, beginning again... and the cycle continues.

Over those ten years I've completed writing two books - one is still nowhere near publication, but I've sent the other out to agents as I begin the long, dreary road of attempting traditional publishing.

Without giving too much away, check out The Harvest:

Artist: Kristy Lender
As the tide runs red with the blood of the Harvest, Iris must choose: remain loyal to her family or save the life of the human boy she loves, sacrificing her identity as a siren of the sea.

When Jace Jacobsen moves to Santa Cruz, he never expects to find that ancient myth has turned into reality or find himself risking his life to protect a monster. That all changes when he meets Iris – a hauntingly beautiful girl guarding a hoard of secrets. Iris’ troubled life is too complicated to include Jace, but all too soon she’s in love with her prey. It isn’t until the only boy Iris has ever fallen for hears her song – a hypnotic melody that leads men beneath the waves to their deaths – that her world turns upside down.

Will Iris give in to her bloodlust and sacrifice Jace to the Harvest or will she turn her back on everything she's ever known?


If Iris chooses her clan, Jace’s soul will be lost forever. If she chooses Jace, then she must give up her own.

Church History in Review: Primary Jeopardy Game

Image
The first Sunday Justin and I attended our new ward in Vernal, the bishop called us into his office. We assumed it was just a "get-to-know-you" meeting... We walked out of his office 10 minutes later with a new calling: Co-primary teachers for the Valiant 9 class (9 year olds). We love teaching primary and have actually been lucky enough to partner up before. I've got the whole hand-out and object lesson thing down and Justin is pro at telling stories and engaging the class. This year the subject for primary is Church History so we've been learning about Joseph Smith, the angel Moroni, and the publishing of the Book of Mormon. Last week we had a review of everything we've taught the class thus far. Instead of just reviewing everything, Justin and I spiced it up with a little game of Jeopardy. Winning team's prize was a plate full of Easter cookies. The TWIST : Each 500 point question came with a challenge. If the team wins the challenge, the que...

Coming Closer to Christ in 30 Days (Part 1)

Image
We all experience different seasons throughout our lives. At times we walk through this journey with the crisp air of Spring filling our lungs, the scent of fresh flowers and rain making every breath one of renewal, and the refreshing vision of a world blanketed in green. Other times we walk--or in my case, run--through the bitter winter storms. During those times, the heavy pressure of an oncoming thunderstorm can weigh on our shoulders, especially if we find ourselves stuck in the middle of a hurricane with no foreseeable way out. No matter the season we walk through today--or the season we'll face tomorrow--we have to rely on Christ always. Speaking from personal experience, it's often easy to forget Him when we walk through the Springs and Summers of life. It's not that we want to, but the peaceful time distracts us from the constant need we have to improve ourselves to become like Him. After the April 2018 LDS General Conference, Justin and I both felt the urgen...

Moonshine Arch: A Hidden Gem in the middle of Vernal

Image
When I tell people that Justin and I live in Vernal, Utah, I often get a lot of scrunched up noses followed by the question, "Why? What's in Vernal?" Well, a lot actually. Although very different from Charlottesville, Vernal has it's own desert beauty which puts me in awe of the beautiful world God created for His children. Moonshine Arch is one of those beautiful gems hidden smack dab in the middle of Vernal.  Justin, Lucy, and I decided to explore this hidden gem on Saturday and it turned out to be the perfect day to just pack up and go. The sun shone but, being April, we had a nice breeze to cool the 2.4 mile, round trip hike.  The best part, too, is that once you reach the arch it is such a fun place to let the kids go wild. They can climb to the top side of the arch, play in the sand or explore to their hearts content.  Check out our first hike of the season below!  More information on the hike and directions are below the photos.  ...
