I love Louisiana, her culture, her history, and I have written a young readers novel about the Cajun people and how they came to Louisiana - The Diary of Marie Landry, Acadian Exile.
Other than writing, I love quiet things, like knitting with my best friend, gardening, and hanging out with my family.
Please visit me on my blog - I'd love to hear from you!
