I have been a professional writer since 1987. I've written for newspapers, magazines, worked in the book publishing industry, and published novels and non-fiction books. In addition, I've guided numerous authors through the process of independent publishing, and offer workshops in that same vein. I'm the founder of the Parkinson's Comfort Project and over the course of six years, we gathered and gave away over 500 handmade quilts to people with Parkinson's disease.

Tupelo Rising

Tupelo is the name of Amos Handy’s niece. He dotes on the girl. So does her mother, Cassie.

Now Tupelo is a child with a vast imagination. In fact, Amos is a wee bit concerned that she spends more time in “Tupelo Land” than she does on Planet Earth.

Cassie doesn’t see it that way.

So when Amos brings home a small rock festooned with amethyst crystals, is it a bit of scientific knowledge or a wishing stone?

Find out tomorrow when the latest Carding Chronicle appears.
