Secrets and Shamrocks, second in the Jordan Mayfair Mystery Series, is still a good book to grab on St. Patrick’s Day!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
The Amazing Dickson Ladies Literary Society
The Dickson Ladies Literary Society has been going strong for more than 60 years. A few days ago I had the pleasure of joining about 30 lovely ladies who were reading Prodigal, and what a great time I had with them. They meet at the Clement Railroad Museum and Hotel. That in itself was such a pleasure. I want to go back and spend more time in the historic downtown of Dickson!

Centennial Club
After a wild night of storms in Nashville, this room was still full on Thursday at noon when I spoke to the Centennial Club ladies about Prodigal. Such an honor to be invited! What a thrill to sign the guest book along with signatures from many years past – Robert Frost and Amelia Earhart to name a few!
Parnassus came to the Centennial Club and sold books. These that are left went back to Parnassus.
If you’re thinking of reading Prodigal, please buy it from Parnassus!
A Night With Brandywine Book Club
I LOVE meeting with book clubs, and these readers are the best! Thank you for inviting me to your discussion of PRODIGAL!
PRODIGAL is Southern Literary Review’s “Read of the Month”
“Fireworks, fireflies, and gunfire light up Phyllis Gobbell’s exquisite, poignant novel Prodigal (Histria Fiction 2024). This modern retelling of the prodigal son is, above all, a story of love and forgiveness in a Southern family.”
Amy’s Bookshelf Review: PRODIGAL
“What a hidden gem. This author has a grand imagination, and talent for showing the story.” Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews

Christmas at the Museum
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!
