Welcome to my part of the world.

When my husband and I packed up and moved to Alaska, I traded in my high heels for snow boots- because at sixty below, fashion doesn’t matter.

I write Southern fiction filled with hope, humor, and small-town charm. If you love stories with quirky characters and towns where everybody knows your name and business, you’ll feel right at home.
