Let the Journey Begin

There is nothing more exciting to a writer than to have the perfect vehicle that reaches a wide and varied readership, and being asked to be a part of Word Wranglers gives me the perfect opportunity to do just that.  Needless to say, I’m delighted to be here, and I look forward to sharing lots of ideas, stories and thoughts about writing, and more, with you.

As with all writers, there are muses and events in my life that have influenced and shaped my work.  I was born and raised in Miami, Florida, and was part of a family who had been there since the early 1900’s.  What those pioneering people saw and did and accomplished in the earliest days on the shores and backwoods of that strange yet beckoning wilderness known as “Old Florida” has left the deepest impressions in me.  As I share thoughts, ideas and methods about my writing with you, I’ll also be telling you stories about my family because they have greatly influenced the fictional ones I create.  

All of my novels are based in the South; specifically Florida, and North Carolina, and I hope you’ll join me as I blog about traveling down the old dusty back roads of these places—places that still carry the echoes of the ghosts who wandered those roads so very long ago.  To them, I am forever grateful for their stories, and to the reader, I am most honored to be sharing my own with you.  Most of all, I am deeply humbled that you take the time to sit down in a quiet corner somewhere and shut the rest of the world out, leaving only you and me together for a time.  That is what all writers long for, and what keeps them staring up at water-stained ceilings night after night, weaving colorful tapestries of wonderful new stories to share with you.

Let our journey begin…
