I am not a blogger, but it is important to market what I enjoy....writing fiction!

I'm a Middle School United States History teacher, having taught since 1991.  My hobbies include traveling, antiques, music, Civil War reenacting/speaking to events as Mrs. Stonewall Jackson.

My loves are my hubby, children, and precious grandchildren.  To them, I am Mammy. :)

The books I have written to date are Lost Letters: A Civil War Love Story, Willow, and Cries in the Night.…
