Whew! I’m back from the crazy for awhile. Deadlines have taken up my life for the past month and now I can breathe. All right, who turned on summer in the South already? 90 degrees. I think somehow, I missed spring and it’s only May. Oh well. It’s really okay because so much can beContinue reading “May Days”

Welcome! I write with a southern accent…

I figured it was time to begin “the blog.” I am a writer and my first book is finally finished. It only took five years of starting and stopping and starting again.
