I make up stuff for a living and you know what... it's pretty awesome! I am a Christian and a lover of the written word. When not working full time or writing, you can find my nose deep in a book.

Ten-Minute Play

Hello hello all!

I have been hard at work! I recently completed my FIRST One Act, Ten-Minute Play entitled, “ROOMMATES”.

If you’ve ever lived with a roommate(s), you may relate to this piece.

Here’s the log line:

Roommates. Can’t live with them—-can definitely live without them! Tara is tired of her roommate, Jazz, bursting in on her during inopportune times: while she is studying, watching television, or simply wants peace and quiet. Well, two can play that game. Payback is sweet! And so is Tara… well, maybe not so much on this particular night.

Be on the lookout for this ten-minute play! I’m definitely going to try to get this performed! I’d like to see this on stage myself.

I’ve never seen my work on stage before so it will be quite an experience.

My Very First Review

I got my first view! Check it out below:

It says: “The author has an honest and wit that spark very real memories of the rites of growing up. I adore the cover, which captures an honesty and truth too often missing in those you attempt to write for this market, but never manage to touch our own memories. A DANCE IN DECEMBER is a short, sparkling work in the early career of a writer with tremendous potential… Ms. Gooch should be read, encourage, supported–for the greatness I have no doubt is to come — Cherie Bennett (NY Times best Selling Young Adult Author)

Preyed Upon Book Trailer

For Dani, becoming pregnant at 16 was bad. Having her church turn against her as a result was worse. And watching the father of her child lead the congregation’s attack against her was, perhaps, the worst. But most painful of all was that Dani Vanderholt could not reveal the truth. After all, who would believe that Jedidiah Jackson—the powerful and beloved Bishop of her church and its congregation—would dare father a child with a girl as young as his own daughter? Despite having Dani shut out from “his” congregation, Bishop Jackson remembers the girl that he fell in love with. And what better way to kick off the 10-year Pastoral Anniversary celebration than by forgiving the sins of the past, and welcoming Dani back into the flock With his secret “safe” all these years, Jackson cannot wait to see the fine, young woman Dani has blossomed into. But some secrets are never safe. Some skeletons are not content to remain in the closet.
