The tale of the stolen wallet
My newsletter subscribers got an early hint of this story last week when I mentioned Bob’s wallet getting stolen in Rome. Here’s the full story. It’s fun to be a subscriber—just enter your email on the sidebar! Bob and I have been trying to take a big trip every few years because this is our…
Read MorePre-order excitement!
Well, isn’t this just a hoot-and-a-half? You write a book, then you have to switch hats and market the thing. Who knew? And on top of writing and marketing, I also recorded the audio version of We Don’t Push in Fairhope. I don’t know why, but it was exhausting! Recording the audio version of We…
Read MoreSnake in the Pool and Newhart
The weirdest part of my summer (so far) wasn’t when I used my kitchen tongs to fling a snake out of my swimming pool, but it was when I somehow predicted the entire scene the day before. Paddling in the cool pool on a nuclear-hot South Alabama evening, I told my husband I wanted to…
Read MoreChanges – oh, dear!
Change is a-comin’. As much as I hate to say it, it’s time for a website update. Boo! Hiss! – and that’s just my opinion. In the past when I’ve changed things, you’ve let me know it made you a bit grumpy, but this time, I think (hope) you’ll be on board. Why make the…

Read MoreRebecca
At first glance, Rebecca and I appeared to be opposites, with one of us sporting tattoos and the other – not. Rebecca managed a local bookstore, and as we worked together over the years at book signings, we started to “click” and became friends. I liked her organizational skills, and she liked my ability to…
Read MoreWe Don’t Push in Fairhope
So, what’s this book about? In We Don’t Push in Fairhope (launching October 8th), you’ll find stories about proper casserole dishes, fairies dancing in fields, dogs in costumes, a house built for a friend, praying for alligators, a pilgrim costume, and a school bus that walks. And hold on to your hat; did you know gravy comes…
Read MoreDone!
Fianlly! My book, We Don’t Push in Fairhope is finished and is being printed by magic book elves at this very moment. It will officially launch on October 8th, with preorders available before that, but it’s out of my hands now and I’m SO BIG TIME RELIEVED! I absolutely love the cover. Finding the right…
Read MoreHot fun and a new recipe
Out for a summertime drive in the Apè. Even if you hate the heat, you have to admit, summer is the best time of the year. Or, maybe it’s just me. I love it. And the best part about this summer is I’m FINALLY FINISHED with my latest book. Well, almost. The cover art is…
Read MoreSummertime beginnings
Yes, you’re correct. This is the longest I’ve ever gone without writing – at least on my blog. The truth is, I’ve been writing, and actually editing like crazy on the final portion of my new book, which will be out this fall. I’m in the final stages of approving artwork for the cover, which…
