| Introduction | I’m a Lowcountry author of short stories, poetry, and novels that explore the emotional undercurrents of Southern life. I hold a BA in Communication Studies from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. My debut novel, Life with a Bird Out the Window (2014), was followed by Forgiving the Past (2020), The Untold Legacy (2021), After the Storm (2025), and Unopened (2025). My work has appeared on Spillwords.com, and two of my short stories—Shining Light and Claire De Lune—were selected for the anthology An Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove, earning honorable mention in the Globe Soup 7-Day Writing Contest. I received second place in the Summerville Writing Contest, an award presented at the Summerville Reads Book Festival. In July, I was honored to be a featured writer during Open Mic Night at the Pat Conroy Literary Center, where I shared my novel, After the Storm. |
