Read MoreThe best thing about Love in Fairhope
The introduction states, “The following is a collision of reality and fantasy featuring real people and inspired by their own stories.” They could have stopped after the word, “collision.” I’m finishing up details on a book about my hometown of Fairhope, Alabama. So, when Hulu premiered the TV show, “Love in Fairhope,” I told my…
Read MoreHodges & Figgis
Yes, it’s older than America, but age isn’t what makes it so amazing. Hodges & Figgis Bookstore in Dublin, Ireland was founded in 1768 and is the largest and oldest bookstore in all of Ireland and according to some sources, the third oldest bookshop in the world after #1 Livararia Bertrand in Lisbon (1732) and…
Read More8 Ways to Help an Author
If you have a friend who is an author and want to help them — I think you are a very nice person. It’s always good to support those who are musicians, artists, dancers and dreamers. We keep the world from being so serious all the time. Reality can be rough, so to support a…

The second project is on the horizon for release later this spring. – stay tuned! Bringing Christmas Home was…
Read MoreSweet Eggs
The Buckeyes have crossed the line. They’ve ruined deviled eggs. The Ohio State Fair plans to offer an abomination of “dessert” deviled eggs. I guess growing up in a place without access to Granny’s Sweet Potato Pie or Aunt Darla Jean’s ‘Nanner Pudding will make you do crazy things to an egg. In the days…
Read MoreCar Washes and Little Pigs
I opened The Baldwin Times and saw photos from a carwash held by the Daphne High School volleyball team. It looked fun — with a giant fire truck even pulling up to be scrubbed. There was a time when a high school car wash wouldn’t have grabbed my attention because it was a common Saturday…
Read More5 shark attack theories
Jabberjaw was the only shark we used to see, and he only hurt us with bad jokes. We swam like fish all over the Gulf of Mexico and never once encountered a shark. As children, then teenagers, and even into adulthood, sharks never bothered us as we swam past the shallow rough area, across the…
