But she was irresistible; and he was tired of … Continue reading 1000 Word Challenge “Beach Tale” by Dupewrites

True wealth is the wealth of the soul
I write southern historical fiction, local history, and I've written a devotional book. The two novels I'm writing are set in Virginia and the Carolinas in the 1760s. My weekly blog started out to follow my journey as a writer and a reader, but in 2025 it has been greatly expanded to include current events and politics in the United States as I see our democracy under attack from within. The political science major in me cannot sit idly by and remain silent.
