I’m excited to share that I will be a Special Guest Author at the Barnes & Noble Bookfair supporting the American Museum of Science and Energy.
Join me on Saturday, May 9 at Barnes & Noble Turkey Creek. I will be doing a live reading at 1:00 PM from my award-winning children’s book, Josie’s Hope: A Secret City Revealed.
I would love to see you there. I will also be available for a book signing after the reading.

One thing I have discovered is that the love of baseball transcends all kinds of perceived boundaries. I was honored to be the keynote speaker for the East Tennessee Historical Society’s , East Tennessee and Baseball series to present the story of the Oak Ridge Bombers Baseball Team. When I tell you I was absolutely stunned at the packed room of all races and ages that braved the rain to come out. The real MVPs ( look at me and my sports lingo 🤪) are my hubby who knows I am horrible driving in the rain who took off to drive us and help out and of course my OGs of Baseball that were able to come out and tell their stories. It was absolutely a good day!
