Born in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains, her family moved here-there-yonder until her feet were for many years stuck in the swamps of South Louisiana. Then! One fine morning her dreams came true and she unglued her feet, leaving behind those moss-filled grandfather oak trees, to go back to the mountains to live in a little log house in the Cove at Killian Knob in Maggie Valley, Western North Carolina. Here, she spins tales, edits manuscripts/books and sometimes websites, drinks strong dark black coffee, and contemplates the glow of Old Moon from her porch overlooking the Great Smoky Mountains.
