Featured Upcoming Events
First Reading of The Buck Moon This Saturday
Celebrate the release of The Buck Moon, the newest story in my Lost Fables of Appalachia series, with a special author reading at Tallulah Gorge State Park on Saturday, July 25 at 1:00 PM at the Jane Hurt Yarn Interpretive Center.
Set beneath the magic of Appalachia's summer skies, The Buck Moon follows Roscoe, a young white tailed deer, on a woodland adventure inspired by the wildlife, folklore, and forests of our region. After the reading, I'll be signing books and would love the opportunity to meet fellow nature lovers, families, and readers of all ages.
Whether you're already a fan of the series or discovering these stories for the first time, I hope you'll join me for an afternoon celebrating the wonder of Appalachia and the wild creatures that call it home.
