Exciting news! My granddaughter, Madeleine Summers, is the official illustrator for my upcoming book, Crossing the Creek (due out in 2027 through Cascade Books)

You might remember her as the real-life inspiration for Maddie in Beyond the White Fence, when the children visit St. Mary Magdalene. It’s such a joy to collaborate with her on this new adventure down the valley! I can hardly wait for you to see her illuminating and charming illustrations. Here is a sneak-peek! This is the picture of William in the Liturgy led by St. Basil the Great. Other saints visited in this book are St. Sophia and her three daughters, St. Susanna the Myrrhbearer, the righteous Gideon, and St. Christopher.
