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!

Event: Live Story Reading
I’m so excited to announce that I’ll be doing a live story reading with Tenx9 Nashville on June 20 at 6:30 pm! The event features nine Nashville writers who each read one ten-minute story focused on the theme “Home.” It’s such a joy to be able to attend events in-person again. How fitting that the Nashville live story reading will be held at Jackalope Brewing Company, a local favorite!
The address for Jackalope Brewing Company is 429B Houston St, Nashville TN 37203. I hope to see you there!
Everyday Monsters Podcast
That’s right: I’m in a podcast!
If you love scary stories then you’ll love the Everyday Monsters horror podcast hosted by Donnie Lansdale, experienced voice actor and podcast host. Each episode features a spooky story written by a guest author, many of them award-winning, and I’m one of them! My story “What the Cat Knew” appears in episode two on Spotify.
Watch this trailer for a peek at the Everyday Monsters podcast, and be sure to give Donnie a follow to keep up with new episodes. Also, let me know what you think of the story in the comments below. I love to hear your thoughts!
