Magnolia Nights
Passion. Intrigue. Redemption
Ellie Pringle has spent endless hours and countless dollars working with a therapist to remember the lost years of her childhood. She’s baffled and more than a little intrigued when the grandmother she hasn’t seen in thirty-four years dies and leaves her a fortune. The time has come to face her past in person. Still reeling from a recent breakup of a long-term relationship, and with nothing to keep her in San Francisco, Ellie packs her meager belongings and boards a plane for the South Carolina Lowcountry.
Standing in the entryway of her grandmother’s antebellum home on South Battery Street in Charleston, Ellie faces the first of many ghosts who will soon haunt her. On her first night in the creepy, creaking mansion, as she’s perusing the titles in a dusty bookcase, she comes across her deceased mother’s leather-bound journal. Her mother’s words create more unanswered questions and send her on a quest to find more journals. As Hurricane Irma bears down on the South Carolina coast, Ellie encounters Julian Hagood, a handsome architect who has the talent to restore her dilapidated mansion and the charm to mend her broken heart. But as Ellie reads her mother’s diaries, they dislodge a stone in the wall that safeguards her memories, causing her world to come crumbling down. Revelations about her childhood lead Ellie on a harrowing journey of discovery that will hold readers spellbound until the dramatic conclusion.

Lessons Learned: My Inspiration for Writing Nell and Lady

5 Drinks to Enjoy While Reading
It is hot and steamy in Central Virginia. Typical weather for mid-July. My favorite time of day is six o'clock, when I pour myself a cold drink and escape with a good book for a brief period before the hectic dinner hour arrives. I wanted to share some of my favorite...

Incorporating Pinterest
What woman doesn't like to look at stunning images of vacation destinations, dream kitchens, and delectable dishes? I know I do. For years, I listened to authors talking about promoting their work on Pinterest, but I couldn't figure out how to make this visual social...

Writers, Have You Rocked The Vault?
When I’m in writing mode, I like to move from room to room in my house. The change or scenery clears my mind. My preference for writing spots varies with the seasons. In the winter, I prefer sitting in my pink velvet chair by my gas logs. When the weather is nice, I...

Book Clubs
What's not to love about book club. A group of women getting together to discuss the thing they love the most. Reading. I've belonged to the same bookclub for nearly twenty years. Admittedly, we don't always talk much about the book and we drink more wine than we...
