My Books

 The print books I've written all have an Appalachian flavor or a down-home flair :

Them That Go

Them That Go is an Appalachian coming-of-age novel, set in 1972, in which seventeen-year-old Annie Caldwell—who has the “gift” of animal communication—wants to be normal, but she’ll settle for being unnoticed. But what happens when she can no longer deny her gift?

Patches on the Same Quilt 

Patches on the Same Quilt is a series of related stories told by members of six generations of a Franklin County, Virginia, family. A boy's wish for a horse changes not only the direction of his own life but also the lives of his children, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter. As the boy's grandmother, the quilt-maker Gillie Anne, says, "We might not be cut from the same cloth, but we're all patches on the same quilt." Each character's story adds a patch to the pattern of interconnected lives.

Miracle of the Concrete Jesus and Other Stories

Miracle of the Concrete Jesus and Other Stories is a collection of fifteen Appalachian short stories, most of which have been previously published. Many of these stories were recycled from my now out-of-print anthology, The Girl Who Raced Mules and Other Stories, and a few appeared in some of my ebooks. These down-home stories all feature resolute women.

Ferradiddledumday

Ferradiddledumday is an Appalachan version of Rumpelstiltskin.

Stuck

Stuck is  a middle-grade novel, partially set in Union Hall, Virginia (where I'm third generation owner of my family farm). Published by Cedar Creek Publishing in 2011, Stuck is now out of print, but some copies are still available in paperback from Amazon.com.
