first novel debut
I am over the moon to announce that I've completed my first novel!
It was overwhelming, emotional, transformational, and extremely rewarding. The book is a work of fiction but interlaced with actual events from my life and memories of those I've loved.
I can close my eyes and smell freshly plowed dirt, hear the sounds of a Lowcountry marsh, and see every character like I've known them forever. Perhaps I have.
Click the title above to view the prologue. The publication is forthcoming, so please check back for updates or send me a note on the Be In Touch page.
Enjoy!

get to know me
I grew up in rural South Carolina, then chose Charleston as my home for over 40 years. As a children's portrait artist for most of that time, I am honored that my work still graces the walls of homes from the Lowcountry to Southern California.
Later in life, I began a personal journey that took me deep within some of the South’s most beautiful landscapes, inspiring a series of essays you'll find here in my Essay Collection. They document my adventures and offer encouragement for other women to find beauty within and outside of themselves.
But most importantly, it propelled me to follow my passion for writing and my debut novel is only the beginning.
I am now making my home near the Tennessee River Valley and the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. I am a mother to Sarah and Will and a life partner to Keith.
