The Wayne County Museum is one of Waynesboro’s best-kept little secrets! I was happy to be invited there on December 7, the day of the annual Christmas parade, billed as a “Small Town Christmas.” Vendors set up booths and tents on the square – all very festive – and inside the museum, I talked about my new book, Prodigal. The novel is about a young man trying to come home to the small town he left ten years earlier, and face his past. Thanks to all who came buy to visit and buy books!

Thanks to Well Read Magazine for including “Wilma” in the June issue. This is a family story that has lived in my mind for a long time, and only recently did I know what I wanted to say about it. You can check it out here:

Thanks to the staff at Chauvet for such a warm welcome at the Art Crawl Saturday night! Around 400 visitors came to the gallery to enjoy the art exhibition. I met some readers and got some great exposure for Notorious in Nashville. It was a big night, lots of fun!
My long-time friend Fran Mires invited me to her Book Club in Old Hickory. What a fabulous night! It began with a feast of Southern food to celebrate my book, Notorious in Nashville. All the members had read the book and it was so satisfying to hear their take on it! Thank you, lovely ladies!
