Carter’s life at the beach was one most teenagers would envy. The summer between his junior and senior years stretched out before him with the promise of new friends and a chance for a new romance. Other than an older sister who barely tolerated him, Carter had nothing to complain about. What more could he ask of life? Then came Hurricane Elliot, and everything about Carter’s life was blown apart. Could his heart withstand the damage the storm left behind?
My writing reflects my memories of growing up along the North Carolina coast near Wrightsville and Carolina Beaches. I left that area when I graduated high school and traveled half-way around the world and back collecting memories and experiences which help shape my characters. Now back in eastern North Carolina, I enjoy bringing to life characters whose adventures take place in my favorite part of the world.
