I write Southern fiction and children's literature. My father was in the military, and I grew up along Florida’s Gulf Coast. My mother's encouragement of our reading at a young age was a significant influence on my ability to create stories and write at a young age. I've been a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators for several years. I have written children’s short stories for magazines and have two published children’s books. My first children's book is titled "Where the Palm Trees Sway" by Janet Toole Lewis. My most recent book, published by EverImagine Books, is titled Treasure on Shell Island by Tolar Miles. My southern novels are titled "Mud Marbles" and "Delta". I love reading, walking on the beach, and spending time with family and friends. I'm crazy about animals and would love to live on a farm. When I'm not writing, spending time with my family brings me the most joy! One of my favorite authors is Rosamund Pilcher. I love her writing style.
