I grew up in the American South, where stories have a way of traveling three counties before nightfall and improving with every telling.

Today, I'm an author and ghostwriter whose work explores the intersection of true crime, forgotten history, Southern Gothic fiction, and the strange corners of the human experience. I've also detoured through military true crime projects, helping bring complex investigations and untold stories to the page.

A lifelong love of classic literature led me to create The Literary Lady Podcast, where I share and celebrate the timeless works of writers whose stories continue to captivate readers generations after they were written.

I'm the creator of The Haint Blue Archive, a fledgling endeavor where old crimes, odd history, folklore, and fiction gather under one roof. Whether I'm digging through archives, chasing obscure newspaper clippings, reading classic novels, or writing late into the night, I'm always looking for the stories that refuse to stay buried.

By the time a project is finished, I've usually accumulated enough useless knowledge to alarm relatives and ruin perfectly good supper conversations.

I still believe every town has a story nobody is telling. Those are the stories I'm most interested in finding.
