I’m honored to learn that The Belle of Chatham has been chosen for the KSDAR or Kentucky Society Daughters of the American Revolution’s reading list for my beautiful home state. Thank you, thank you!
The Belle of Chatham on shelves!
Another novel is on shelves! This year is such a historic milestone. 1776-2026. I’m so grateful to be American born that I wrote a book about it! A tale of courtship & marriage, duty versus desire, faith & forgiveness. In the spirit of 1776, happy reading!

I gave a brief talk which was followed …

It’s such an honor to find The Lacemaker on the current KSDAR list among so many fine books. I see quite a few here that I’ve read and others new to me that I’m adding to my stack! As a member of the DAR, specifically the Berea-Laurel Ridges Chapter, I’m especially blessed. Heartfelt thanks to those who compiled the list …
