NEW RELEASE – These Empty Places
My TENTH full-length novel will release on May 5, 2026 (yes, Cinco de Mayo!). I’m astonished and amazed that this dream of being an author has come so vividly true for me. I hope you enjoy this third North Carolina novel inspired by little known aspects of the great flood of 1916.

| My, wasn't she clever?! I read this one because I wanted to know what "rule" Christie broke. I'm glad I went in aware that the twist would be quite a twist. I didn't exactly guess it, but I was suspicious and prepared to be annoyed if it was what I s ...more | |
