Welcome to my website. I’m a writer, lover of animals, reader, teacher, and mischief maker. Perhaps it’s the last category that I most want to excel at! On the site you’ll find stories about readers/friends and their animals, Jitty advice, contests, book news, newsletters, and photos of the things that matter in my life.
I love to hear from my readers, so feel free to drop a line to my e-mail address , and I will write you back.
If you spawn mischief, I’ll join you in it!
My calendar is also on the website, and while my travels are mostly confined to the South, you never know when I might pop up somewhere. So check the calendar to see if I’m going to be in your neck of the woods. I wish I had time to travel, but I also have a small animal rescue (Good Fortune Farm Rescue ) and that keeps me close to home.
Again, welcome!

Karma says, get thee up and shake that fatsy butt while opening my food for me! Karma is going through an old English phase. She’s just not very good at it.

Lightning struck my big camphor tree 2years ago. It was a gorgeous tree that I loved. It breaks my heart to remove it but hurricane season is here and if the dead part of it fell on my house it would be a mess. But this tree is another loss. It has been a friend for a long long time.

Nancy Hubbard normally hangs out with TV and music stars but she took a moment to send a care package to Good Fortune Farm Refuge. We are so grateful.

Today I spent the afternoon shaving Tundra (I so suck at this) and watching the first season of IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT. Carroll O’Connor took on two controversial roles (that I know of). Gillispe in Heat and Archie in The Bunkers. Sparta and my hometown of Lucedale share much in common. I believed America had turned a racial/misogynistic corner in the 1970s. I was wrong. There are many who want to go back to a society of total white male privilege. It won’t ever happen, I don’t think. But the fact so many want to return to those days makes me angry and sad.

Driving to my booksigning yesterday I saw this huge rainbow. Sorry it isn’t a better photo but I was driving and snapped it at a red light. I had a lovely signing. Jody did a great job hosting a trivia contest in the Doggone Pub she set up in the bookstore. We had a lot of fun and Priya Bhakta had created some great trivia prizes. Driving home the sky was clear and the traffic had cleared out.
