​
“My novel writing journey began many years ago when I started writing the novelization of my experiences at the coffee house, Jesus on Main Street, in Denver. I began writing other stories and joined an online writing forum. Those early novels just sat in my laptop, which had broken until my son-in-law recovered them from the hard drive.
When my sister, Rebecca Cole, announced one day that she had decided to write a novel, I started thinking maybe I should do something with all those things I had written and squirreled away to work on sometime in the future. I sat beside her on her couch and pulled out the unedited manuscripts and started working.
​
She self-published her first novel, Sunday School Sweethearts, in June 2022, and I followed her with my first, Angel in the Street.”
