People sometimes ask, "What are you writing now?" This page gives you a peek at what I’m working on while it’s in progress and also a glimpse into things I've been doing.

Last month I started work on a new novel I am calling Hannah’s House.  It is the story of three women and a house. One of the women, Dinah Jernigan, inherits a lovely antebellum house from Hannah Steele, a great-aunt she never knew. Hannah’s neighbor and friend, Claire Hartsfield, expected Hannah to leave the house to the small town’s historical society for a museum. She is not pleased to have the unkempt single mother of two little hooligans next door, and deplores the damage that family is doing to Hannah’s lovely home.

I’ll fill you in on more details as the book progresses.

I am also talking with a local university press about the possibility of writing a history of the first five years of the gentrification of Atlanta’s Inman Park Community, 1970-1975. Restoring that community to its former glory as a lovely in-town community involved stopping two expressways and helping to elect Andrew Young to Congress. More on that later, as well.

Meanwhile, happy reading!

If you like my books, do me a favor, please:

Tell your librarian about them. A happy reader’s recommendation means a lot. Tell them, also, that most of my books are available in Large Print editions and my two latest novels are available in audio books. Thanks!
