We had a wonderful trip to Asheville, NC for the long Thanksgiving weekend, and boy did I need it! We went to Biltmore on Thanksgiving Day and finally got to see the house and grounds decorated for the holiday season. IT WAS MAGNIFICENT!!! In my opinion, Biltmore is one of those must see places. We […]

With Thanksgiving only a week away, I thought I would post a few apple recipes. I use fresh crisp slightly tart apples for baking. Granny Smith Apples are available just about everywhere, but older varieties such as York or Stayman (NC mountain apples) work great too! Once again, I use pre-made pie crusts that you […]

Okay… You caught me!!! Yes, this a memory of my one and only experience harvesting oysters. It was my first summer/fall in the coastal region of South Carolina. In the mid-1970s, the tourist season ended the middle of September and some of the local business owners would rent beach houses in Garden City on the […]

Since most cornbread recipes are basically pretty simple, especially the boxed ones, I thought that I would post some variations to liven-up the ordinary. An essential item is an 8 or 9-inch cast iron skillet…seasoned, please. If you do not have one of these, the holidays are coming and they can be purchased at Lodge […]

And, are any of the events, my memories? So I thought that I would dedicate a post to answering these questions. Please post questions and/or comments about the […]

I have been asked this question more than once. Actually, having no professional training in creative writing, I thought that all authors wrote through inspiration. When I attended my first book conference, boy, was I surprised!!! Outlines everywhere… story lines, plot development, character names with development, etc, etc, etc. And I am quite certain, if […]

I thought that it would be fun to post a few recipes that the characters in my novel baked, or wanted to make, as the case may be… So I’m going to start with something sweet. I believe we should start eating desserts first… I rarely have room for them afterwards! I hope you will […]

I took the past few days to reflect before I let everyone know what wonderful experiences I had at the Lowcountry Women Authors Book Signing this past weekend at the Citadel Alumni House in Charleston, SC. This event was co-sponsored by the Center for Women, the English Dept. of the Citadel, and the Mt. Pleasant […]

Over the years, I have developed a passion for history. I love discovering little-known or forgotten facts that makes the history, for me, come alive. In The Seahawk’s Sanctuary, I have attempted to depict the historical time period as accurately as possible. The events, personal wear and language, as well as the mannerisms and habits […]
