Southern Hospitality

For seven years. I wrote a weekly column for The Bernice Banner. I turned in short family related stories before I began a serialized account from my mother's bible records and things my maternal grandmother told about leaving North Carolina in 1899 as a new bride on a wagon train bound for Union County, Arkansas. This historical fiction story, The Journey, was an instant success. Through questions as to whether I was writing a book, the seed was planted and by the time I had turned in chapter 72, my mind was made up. Through Bookstand Publishing, I had The Journey published in book form. Frighteningly beautiful happenings fill all 232 pages of this Christian book.
I no longer have my column, but I am presently working on The Winds series. I have completed what I plan to be the first book of four, and I'm on chapter 40 of the second book. (I am updating these posts. Today is 2, 22, 2012, and I have already published The Winds of September, and the second book, The Winds of Time that came out in Oct. 0f 2011.) These are fiction, and describe the life of settlers who migrated from a Texas soddy to homestead in the Appalachian Valley of Tennessee. Same family, different stages of their lives.

What Some People Say About The Journey

Many people say that once they started reading, they couldn't put it down until they finished. I've been asked if Lona's necklace is a family heirloom, and who has it now. Some people plan to visit the Philadelphia Cemetery in Union County, Arkansas that I write about in The Journey where a lot of Stegalls' are buried. The death of eighteen month old Ila Bessie has been compared to the death of a two year old boy in a family where the mother lined his footprints in the garden with turnip green leaves to try and preserve them. Heart wrenching and joyful stories come to me from memories that The Journey has evoked in readers. For a signed copy, send a check or money order in the amount of $23.00 to:
