• Book Review Friday – Heart of Palm

  Laura Lee Smith’s Heart of Palm captured my heart first with its setting in north Florida where I lived for thirty years, and second, with its quirky Bravo family drawn in the best of southern family traditions. The Bravo family lives in the fictional small town of Utina on the Intercoastal just a short drive […]

• Book Review Friday – Anne Rivers Siddons

  

  “Trails in the Sand is Southern drama on the scale of Anne Rivers Siddons, where family secrets lie as deep as a mangrove swamp, skeletons molder in the woodwork, and the honeyed smiles of Southern belles mask seething resentment. -Clare Chu, Amazon top 100 reviewer” When I received this review for my novel, I beamed […]
