Southern Hospitality

There are a few short stories at http://www.authorsden.com that you may enjoy. They are some I had used in my Reflections Column that I write for a weekly Louisiana paper, The Bernice Banner, 318 285 7424. These stories were used 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, I had The Journey published in book form. Frighteningly beautiful happenings fill all 232 pages of this Christian book.
I still have my column, and I am presently working on The Winds series. I have completed what I plan to be the first book of three or four, and I'm on chapter 40 of the second book. 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. You may want to follow along in The Banner as things unfold. If so, email me and I'll catch you up to the present time.
