About

I am a native and life-long resident of Carroll County, Georgia and a curious student of history, writing and travel. My writings include An Easter Walk, A Christmas Walk, Our Foundation, A Children's History of Carrollton First Baptist Church and Blanche of Castile, a True Ruler of France. I am also a co-author and editor of A History of First Baptist Church, 160 Years-1847-2007. The Georgia Writers Association recently announced that I am a Georgia Author of the Year Nominee for An Easter Walk. I am currently working on three novels--Friendly Fire, Line of Fire, and The Dawn and the Lion. I'm a member of the Compuserve Books and Writers Forum and the American Christian Ficiton Writers.

 I was born and raised in Carrollton, Georgia and graduated from Carrollton High School and the University of West Georgia. Presently, I live in Temple, Georgia with my husband and college sweetheart, John. We share our historic home and garden with two puppies, Casey and Max.
