edit data

I am an avid reader of all genres and lover of vintage comics. I will enjoy re-reading David Copperfield as much as the latest Ben MacIntyre or BB Griffith. As a writer, though, I am prone to narrative storytelling in the vein of magical realism.
I am also an award-winning quilt artist and was pleased to win ribbons for the companion quilt to the book, Billy Dee of the Ozarks, The quilt is titled 'Highway 61', showcasing a brief history of the Blues. I am the only person I know who makes art quilts to complement their stories.

Excitement Abounds

My debut novel, Billy Dee of the Ozarks has been selected as a semi-finalist for the 2025 Kindle Book Awards for Indie Authors. I am beyond thrilled and now see that all the time spent doing corrections even after publishing is worthwhile. Although I know I must have missed a couple. Even if it goes no further, I now have more confidence in moving forward. Maybe I really can tell a story worth som Read more of this blog post »
