Crossroads Calls Magical Carolinas Home
I love biscuits and western North Carolina. So what more perfect combination than a book about baking biscuits in the mountains above Asheville. My husband and I visit that wonderful mountain city regularly. How to describe that part of the Carolinas? Magical. They call it the "land of the sky." The incredibly beautiful mountain scenes in Last of the Mohicans were filmed in the North Carolina Appalachians, and also that Patrick Swayze classic , Dirty Dancing!
A Gentle Rain
Literature & Fiction
A Connecticut heiress disguises herself to learn about her biological parents on a Florida cattle ranch.

To Set A Story
The setting of A Gentle Rain (northern Florida) is very special to me. I spent many childhood summers there at the beaches, and many happy times as an adult visiting my in-laws in historic St. Augustine. Another element of the novel is barrel racing, which is also dear to my heart. As a teenager I and my handsome palamino, Reb’s Buck, competed in local horseshows all over northern Georgia. We never won many ribbons, but we made a lot of memories.
