I write stories about family, love, frailty, and resilience inspired by the places and people tucked along the back roads of Alabama. My first short story, “Tracing the Spirit,” is available in the award-winning anthology Feisty Deeds: Historical Fictions of Daring Women. I am a Sundial Writer. My first contribution, “Cucumbers on the Carport,” was featured on NPR's The Sundial Writers Corner this summer.
