Stop Following Me
It was his idea to divide everything. Jasper looked up to his brother Jonas, but maybe there’s something wrong with that.
From the book: ““For many years, there’s been sightings in Old Fort, North Carolina near Curtis Creek close to the Blue Ridge Parkway and up around the Geyser. Usually, there’s more than one. Sometimes physical evidence is left behind. This pack is unusual, though, because they come back. It’s best to make peace with them just in case you come face to face with one.”

THE BRAVE BILLY STORIES
The character of “Brave Billy” was invented by my Dad. I had so much trouble sleeping as a child due to allergies that he would tell me these stories to help me get to sleep.

I’ve always firmly believed that the underestimated underdog will always have a chance to be a winner!

Four Thieves of Vinegar & Other Short Stories
CACKALACKA
Charleston Silver was just an ordinary boy, an ice runner on Lake James in North Carolina, or what was left. He’d never known what life without ice looked like, none of them did, they’d heard of it but none of them were really sure it ever existed at least not in this corner of western of North Carolina. He stuck to the ice and running. Lake James, when it wasn’t frozen, in places went as deep as 125 feet. Everything was solid ice even the trees were solid blocks of tall frozen ice.
None of them, none of this part of North Carolina knew the sun.
Join Charleston and his crew: Goldsboro, Columbia, Richmond, Wilmington, Jacksonville aka Jackson, and New Bern as they discover what put this particular part of the south, western North Carolina, entirely frozen and in need of the sun.
Do you dare to play the game, the game of Cackalacka?
THE MAILBOX OF THE KINDRED SPIRIT
When I was looking for something educational to do involving reading while at Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina, I discovered this mailbox, The Mailbox of the Kindred Spirit, which is on the southern end of Sunset Beach. The mailbox is real. The mailbox is the inspiration for my story about Ernie and Melody who meet at a young age at a Golf Club in the mountains of North Carolina where he works and where her mother works. They grow up and grow apart and she moves to Ocean Isle Beach. Eventually he comes to a place where he tries to connect with her again.

Description: A mystery set in North Carolina. Private Detective Chance Richardson stumbles upon the brutally murdered body of Al Bryant out near Happy Valley, North Carolina – the site of the infamous real-life Tom Dooley murder of Laura Foster – after intercepting a CB broadcast asking for help.
A local town drunk by the name of Henry Lee Coffey is found near the crime scene and arrested for Al’s murder. Henry’s wife, Ruby, was also killed in a similar manner several years ago which caused Henry to abandon his job, home and to drink.
Chance’s pal, newspaper reporter Kelly Grant, is asked by her former high school nemesis Mary Beth Coffey Dula to check into the crime for Henry’s sake.
Chance and Kelly start nosing around the former Henry Coffey house, Al Bryant’s place, into Ruby Coffey’s murder and in and around the Happy Valley area, and dig a little into the Tom Dooley legend.
