Welcome to my online home! I love composing stories that encourage and inspire. I have enjoyed hearing from my visitors, so feel free to contact me. Hearing from my reading audience is always such an inspiration and blessing.
I am thrilled to introduce my new release "Secrets of Morgan Hill: An Unlikely Friendship Amid a Southern Apartheid."This compelling story is set in 1930s Acworth, Georgia when two little girls cross over the color lines set in place by an apartheid south and became best friends. Their interracial friendship takes them on a journey of joy, pain, and an unexpected tragedy that forced them to share a secret that would create an invaluable bond that would last into their adulthood. Secrets of Morgan Hill is available now on Amazon Books and on Kindle !
“How much of the burden of history can fiction bear?” – Margaret Walker
Comprehensive historical research can often become the inspiration for art. The greatest pieces of historical fiction are a result of years of historic scholarship before the creation of a compelling historical narrative or fiction piece. Through my two-year ethnographic study and collection of oral histories of the black community, surrounding the historic Bethel A.M.E. church in Acworth, Georgia, I was told a story about a friendship between two little girls who remained friends until the end of their lives. What I found unique and inspirational about the story was that it was about two girls from different races who developed an unbending alliance amid the tensions of an apartheid South.
