Fayla is a southern belle with a strong, southern accent and an even stronger cup of coffee that's always within reach. Living amidst the scenic views of the East Tennessee mountains, Fayla creates tales of American history, mostly set in the south, that capture the heart and challenge the spirit.

This keeps the writing process fresh and new for me throughout the story. (less)
