Several published articles have won awards at the Lifeway Writers Workshops and the Southern Christian Writers Conference.

My speaking topics include discipleship, spiritual growth, prayer, and family living. In 1995 I completed the Christian Leaders and Speakers Seminar (C.L.A.S.S.) developed by Florence Littaur. I have taught classes for writers at Lifeway Christian Resources, Chattanooga Bible Institute, and Cleveland State College, as well as leading workshops at the Southern Christian Writers Conference.

I am the mother of four sons, ages 16 to 31. Our only daughter, Shela, died in July, 1993, at age 19 following a lifelong battle against a muscle disease. Tom Kirkpatrick, my husband of 29 years, died of cancer November 1, 2000. In August, 2003 I remarried a widower, Phillip Burress.

A graduate of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, I have been previously employed as a counselor with the Department of Human Services. I also served as Director of the Non-credit division of Continuing Education at Cleveland State College.

My main church roles have included teaching Adult Sunday School, coordinating retreats and seminars for women, and directing Children’s Bible Drill. I am active in Moms in Touch prayer ministry and serve as Women’s Ministry Director at Big Spring Church.
