A wonderful surprise!
I've just found out that The Kentucky School Media Association has chosen me to receive the 2010 KSMA Jesse Stuart Media Award, an award presented to an author/producer who has created outstanding media related to Kentucky. This was a huge surprise, as well as an enormous honor for me. Jesse Stuart was a writer whose work I deeply admire. He was a poet and short story writer who spent his life living in and writing about Kentucky. The awards are this Saturday, September 18 in Louisville, Kentucky. I can't wait!

It's been a while...
Wow, I guess it's been a while since I've had a blog! Looking back over the last things I posted (quite a few) years ago, makes me realize how much I miss giving updates about my work and what I'm doi

The biggest news...I have a new YA novel coming out soon! "Wrecked" (Caitlyn Dlouhy Books/Simon and Schuster) hits stores March 15, 2022! Like my very first YA novel ("Making the Run," HarperCollins, 2001), "Wrecked" is set in rural Kentucky and it deals with some heavy issues, like drug abuse, but it's also about first love and family and friendship. And something more...but I'll reveal that at a later date.
I really hope readers connect with Miri, Fen, and Clay, three 16-18 year olds, who tell the story from their three different points of view. I hope the story resonates with readers who are interested in a gritty view of life in a rural America where sometimes drugs appear to be the only way out. More soon!
