Background
Information
My career in social work exposed me to situation and people who seemed riddled with hopelessness. However there was always some resilience and/or fateful occurrences changing the trajectory of a seemingly desperate situation.

I wanted to put those struggles into stories and tell tales in dark, desperate, gothic situations that offered at least some hope and if not resolution, truth.
Accomplishments
I have written five novels, Sabine, Josephine's Journals, The Secrets of Dunn House, Opal's Story, a Novel, Tangled, a Southern Gothic Yarn, and an Anthology of Short Stories - The Bridge on Jackson Road. I have one nonfiction book, Retirement - Now What?
