edit data

My writing reflects my memories of growing up along the North Carolina coast near Wrightsville and Carolina Beaches. I left that area when I graduated high school and traveled half-way around the world and back collecting memories and experiences which help shape my characters. Now back in eastern North Carolina, I enjoy bringing to life characters whose adventures take place in my favorite part of the world.

Down on the River, the Neuse River, Over Labor Day

The missus and I spent Labor Day weekend at the KOA Holiday on the Neuse River across from New Bern.

This campground is one of our favorite places to stay for many reasons. Primarily, it is close to my mother's house, and we visit her while we are there. Secondly, I spent a lot of my youth near New Bern. My grandparents lived just outside the city. I spent a week or two with them every summer.

If you are a lover of vampire stories, you want to read this book. Mr. Lewis has given the vampire myth a new twist that will leave you wondering if, perhaps, they are real after all.

Hi Kathleen. I know you from the Indie Authors Tweet Exchange. I had a moment of confusion this morning and thought I was on the page for a different group I'm a member of, MasterKoda.com, hence the MK in my note, when I sent you my friend request. Sorry for the confusion.

That explained, let me thank you for accepting my friend request and tell you how glad I am to connect here on Goodreads. 8)
