  I have authored three books: "Divine Duct Tape", is a 60-day Christian devotional that explores how God, faith, and everyday challenges (parenting, mid-life and raising children with autism) intersect and help us in the messy journey of life. Humorous, real, introspective and challenging, this book is meant to deepen the reader's relationship with God and encourage them in the challenges we all inevitably face. "Life on the Spectrum: Faith. Hope. Love. Autism" is a co-written book of stories written by fathers and mothers of all different races and backgrounds who share a common hope and common experience. From asking the hard questions of "why?" and grief, to the journey of creating new normals and navigating lives we never imagined, we discover that ultimately, we are not alone; and, "Welcome Home: Food is Story. Food is Faith. Food is Love." is a memoire cookbook full of humorous family stories and the delicious foods that make them taste even better. Show less
