About Me

Writing is in my soul. And it always has been. It's something I have to do. Any writer will tell you that we are not given a choice. The words come at us, sometimes like a raging wind storm blowing in off the prairie, sometimes like a gentle rain falling in a meadow. Ignoring them is futile because stories and story ideas are relentless. They've been popping into my head since I was little. Not a day goes by that I don't think about a new story that needs to be written down. I've had a cookbook, a children's book, and two novels published, in addition to being a contributor to 12 Chicken Soup for the Soul books. I've also had more articles published than I can recall. My new novel will be published in August of 2024. Stay tuned here to find out more about it as the publication date draws near.

Family secrets, a second chance at love, and a stalker ― 
trouble is right around the corner.





It's been five years in the making, and finally, my book The Wedding Dress Quilt is seeing the light of day. At least a preview is. It will be published on August 25, 2024, by C&T Publishing. Though I signed a contract with C&T in the spring of 2023, I could not go public with it until now. Here is the cover folks, and I could not be happier with it. Pretty right? I'm sure you're wondering what it's about.

Adopted as an infant, art quilter Lisbeth James has no clue about the family waiting for her. After her maternal grandmother dies, Lisbeth inherits the family home and travels to Waxahachie, Texas to claim her inheritance. There, she finds long-lost family, a man who makes her heart flutter, a feeling she has not known since the passing of her former fiancé, and a hidden treasure―a stunning wedding dress― that inspires her to make a double wedding ring quilt. Yet beneath the newfound joy, she discovers a stalker and unknown pieces of her past.


Weaves timeless themes cherished by readers of all ages: second chances, finding family, and new love.

The relatable main character, an avid quilter, stumbles upon her mother's unworn wedding dress, inspiring her to create an extraordinary, prize-winning double wedding ring quilt.

The main character confronts her deepest fears, embraces life-altering challenges, and uncovers the darkness that follows her to a small town in Texas.




To be published in August, 2024 by C&T Publishing. For more information on local appearances, contact Jeffree Wyn Itrich: jeffreewyn@gmail.com 254-242-6263
