Though my first published books were nonfiction, I have found my writing home in storytelling, especially in fiction that moves between science fiction, supernatural horror, suspense, historical fiction, and Southern Gothic terrain.
     I live in rural Madison County, Georgia. I draw on a wide range of personal experiences, my interest in regional history, and my own imagination to write stories that explore the meeting point of the ordinary and the uncanny. I am drawn to the hidden pressures beneath everyday life, to the moments when something familiar begins to feel strange, and to the ways hidden histories, uneasy landscapes, and human choices can collide. But whatever form my stories take, I want them to feel rooted in human experience even when they reach into the strange.
     Whether I am writing about alien encounters, haunted roads, ruined futures, imagined events in forgotten towns, or private acts of courage, I keep coming back to the belief that where a story happens, the emotional or personal history the characters carry, and the moral weight of their choices are just as important as the plot itself.
