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:

Relax with a Historical Fiction Novel, The Journey, set in Union County, Arkansas
Life in the 1890's was quite different, especially when you traveled by wagon from North Carolina to Southern Arkansas to homestead and raise a family. Read about the adventures of my maternal grandparents as they fought to carve a home out of the wilderness of Union County, Arkansas. They lived in a log cabin on land where cougars roamed. Four years after they homesteaded, my pioneer grandmother finally received an old yellowed letter from Laura, her friend on the wagon train who had settled in Missouri. The letter is included on this blog. To order a signed copy of The Journey, send a check or money order in the amount of $23.00 to:

My historical fiction book, The Journey, is published.
The Journey is the story of my maternal grandparents, Charlie and Lona Stegall, who came by wagon from North Carolina to carve a living out of the wilderness of Union County, Arkansas. My grandmother gave birth to nine children, shot cougars, and helped my grandfather wrestle a living from the land. If you love to read about happenings in the 1800s, this is the book for you.
