I started writing my Appalachian Mountain Mysteries to share unforgettable stories from my back-to-the-land experience in the North Carolina mountains. I've kept writing them because of my readers. They tell me they love the characters, especially Abit Bradshaw. In the first book of the series, A Life for a Life, he had a supporting role, but I listened and gave Abit a starring role in the rest of the series. Then came Astrid Holt in Welcome the Little Children and more recently Wallis Harding in Murder Ballad Blues and Baldy in Deep in the Forest. Oh, really, there are too many good characters to list—you'll have to see for yourself!     

I’ve teamed up with three other authors (Duane Lindsay, Peter Bartram, and Emma Jameson) who all write the kind of books I know you like to read to publish SPELLBOUND MYSTERY MAGAZINE, a free monthly flipbook magazine filled with exciting features. That means 12 times a year you will receive:

  • In-depth spotlight on one of our authors
  • Insider chat about what we’re writing
  • Book recommendations of books by authors we love
  • News about promos and sales

And that’s just for starters. Our aim is to make it easier for you to find the good books that keep you spellbound!
