At this site, I write to amuse, inspire or declutter the mind. In my books, I write about what I know: muddled lives, nail-biting unknowns and eternal hope. Growing up, I learned the power of stories and intrigue from saged fablers on the front porch of our Appalachian farmhouse. Becoming a writer of suspense was only a matter of time. I live, write and travel regularly on the beautiful Blue Ridge, from Marpennsylginia to Georgia.

My focus: This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. - Psalms 118:24
