“In the twenty-first century we seldom find time to pause…for without “think time” we are merely subjects of our reactions to things and others. Reading invites a moment to ponder….to reflect… to disagree… to discuss… and then go beyond…”

Nanette L. Avery lives outside Nashville in the beautiful state of Tennessee. Novelist and short story writer, best known for her historical fiction, Orphan in America. Her nickname Nan is a palindrome and her favorite pastime is watching International films with a glass of red wine. #amwriting

The island was supposed to be a postcard…

Just released—What Killed Mr. Knoll – Forget the beach. This isn’t paradise, it’s what festers beneath it. A group of teens. A trusted adult. A betrayal no one saw coming. Nanette L. Avery doesn’t give you heroes. She gives you survivors. This is what it looks like when trust turns toxic—and silence leaves scars.
