My character-driven historical fiction grips readers' emotions and surprises them with unexpected twists. In Silk: Caroline's Story, the first installment of The Silk Trilogy, “The social realism of Jane Austen meets the Southern Gothic of Flannery O’Connor.” It's 1899 in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, and Caroline must choose between the town doctor and a good-natured farmer, all the while oblivious to a young sociopath who is not about to let this happen. Full of laughter and heartache—with a sinister thread—the next two generations of the family continue the trilogy in Tapestry: A Lowcountry Rapunzel and Homespun. Other novels are in the works, but I often feel more like blathering about my reading and writing than actually doing it, so I've opened this venue for sharing my thoughts with you—about books already written (by me and by others), those yet to come, and a few about life in general!

Literary Titan Interview for 'Homespun'

You might be surprised to learn that Ginny was the most challenging character to write. Her perspective felt narrow, even claustrophobic. Ginny wasn’t a reader, and she was secretive and held grudges—but she was also loving. ... Ginny comes across as more flawed than I’d meant for her to... Her character is based on... a woman who was actually such a comfort to be around that the local hospital once offered her a job to simply come and sit with patients—that’s how soothing she was.
