Bio
I am a writer from southwestern Virginia that loves to write regional pieces. Most are inspired by my own experiences or the experiences of others whose story I've been told.
I find that truth is always stranger than fiction.

Summer Weeds
The porch swing rocked in the warm summer breeze. Amelia stepped out onto the porch from the living room doorway. The screen door sighed as it closed. She loved the smell of summer. It had a sweetness to it that matched the leafy tones of her hot tea. She sipped it outside against her better judgement, but she couldn't stomach returning to the crowded living room. Black figures weaved amongst each other, mingling together as they shared their condolences. Laughter could be heard coming from the kitchen as spirits were passed to the mourners.
