I love to write about history, music, and the paranormal. My latest book, Haunted Marietta, is all about my hometown of Marietta, GA, and is getting great reviews! I have also got a book about Blues music, T'ain't Nobody's Business If I Do, which is about women blues singers because too often the women are ignored in the blues. In addition, I have published two books in a paranormal series, Ghost to Coast and Ghost to Coast Tours and Haunted Places.

I have a BA in English. My book, Haunted Marietta, was featured in Amazon's Hot New Releases for Georgia History.

Haunted Marietta is available at all major online bookstores and at Borders and Barnes and Noble in metro Atlanta as well as independent bookstores such as Eagle Eye in Decatur, GA. It can be ordered at any offline bookstore, as well.
