about me

I'm a former staff writer for The Florida Sun, (now the Pensacola Independent News), which was published, starting in 1999, in Pensacola, Florida by former Congressman Joe Scarborough (now the star of "Morning Joe" on MS- NBC).

"Read Cover to Cover, Never Bound by the Truth" said the little slogan in the top left corner of the cover. My articles were all nonfiction and ran the gamut from travel to current events and chemtrails to Bigfoot in Dixie.

I'm a ninth-generation Southerner. Born in Georgia, I grew up a preacher's kid in Alabama, attended Alabama Christian College (now Faulkner University) and married a Louisiana boy.

I currently reside with my husband of 30+ years in L.A. (Lower Alabama, aka the Florida panhandle).
