I'm a Catholic writer of clean/sweet romance, former middle school teacher, and currently a stay-at- home mom to my wonderful kids. When I'm not writing, I enjoy: reading, cooking, going for walks, traveling, playing with my kids, and spending quality time with my husband and our family. I developed a love for writing when I was ten, and have dabbled with poetry and short stories. I write wholesome Christian-inspired romance novels under the pen nam, M. J. Schlotter, where I incorporate elements of my Catholic faith. I also write Young Adult Fantasy and children's books under the pen name, Joelle Sprague. I hope you enjoy the books I've written. Please feel free to leave a review on Amazon if you feel inspired. You can follow me on Instagram and Twitter for eBook promotions and inspiring Catholic content.
