About

All I want is to get the words right.

I work as a freelance writer, photographer, and editor. I live in LaGrange, Georgia.

Songs My Father Barely Knew (link to excerpt) is my nonfiction novel-in-progress. I aim to be done with it by the end of 2017. More recent pieces include the liner notes for Grayson Hugh’s album Back to the Soul (August 2015); a Country Universe review of Buddy Miller & Friends: Cayamo Sessions at Sea; “The Lipstick Queen” (Columbus and the Valley Magazine, Nov-Dec 2016); and “Reverie with Coffee and Hash Browns” (Columbus and the Valley Magazine, June 2017).

In April 2016, I presented “Talking with the Ghosts: Representing Cultural Heritage and Matching Text with Image,”  a talk on my photographic work, at Arkansas State University’s Delta Symposium. In May 2016, I presided over Day 1 panels at the International Country Music Conference in Nashville.

On 10 July 2016 at 4pm Eastern, I was a guest on The Show, a Columbus, Georgia-based video podcast. What a delightful conversation! (Check out the episode on YouTube.) Can’t wait to visit with Brian and Timothy Childree again, once I’m done with the book.

In addition to my commercial editing, social media strategy, and private coaching work, I’m currently writing several feature articles, completing my novel, and taking photos (as always).

For a more comprehensive list of my work, check out “Nice to meet you.”
