I'm something of a modern recluse writing in the genre of Southern writing, fiction and otherwise.

At a certain point in my life, I stopped taking pills to enable me to deal with other people's personalities and headed for deeper woods. This is how I ended up in the backwoods of Appalachia raising goats and chickens and completely ignoring my education, experience and training. I really couldn't be happier.

I'm a southern girl, born in Savannah, GA and gently raised. I've lived all over the US, England and traveled widely during my years working in the film industry. My favorite place is France. The northern part with the spotty cows.
I'm a liberal, progressive Democrat AND I own a gun.
