NEW RELEASE – These Empty Places
My TENTH full-length novel will release on May 5, 2026 (yes, Cinco de Mayo!). I’m astonished and amazed that this dream of being an author has come so vividly true for me. I hope you enjoy this third North Carolina novel inspired by little known aspects of the great flood of 1916.
When their worlds are upended, two women brought together by their loss discover what truly matters most.

| Engaging and entertaining. Loved the red herring move! I did find the ending a TAD convenient but that didn't take away from my reading enjoyment. Don't miss the author's notes. ...more | |
