Proud to have been interviewed about my book Daughters of Muscadine on the local PBS station in Jackson, TN. Shout out to Peter Noll and Baily Luther for inviting me! ❤️
Y’all, I have exciting news! My book, Daughters of Muscadine, has just won the Tennessee Book Award in fiction! This is a huge honor. It comes with a $2,500 cash prize, and I’m invited to give a talk with Denton Loving and Rachel Louise Martin, the poetry and nonfiction winners, at the Southern Festival of Books this Sunday. I’m grinning big as can be! ❤️❤️❤️
Proud to have my book, Daughters of Muscadine, featured on the latest episode of Read Appalachia. Thanks, Kendra Winchester!
I’ll be signing books Saturday, September 28th at Madison County Book Festival in Richmond, KY. Excited for this event. I also attended last year and it was among my favorite author events!
Excited to announce I’ll be leading the memoir writing workshop for the Tennessee Mountain Writers. The workshop will be a mixture of craft lectures on writing about family and writing about place. More info here.
Proud to be at Hindman Settlement School this week. I’m teaching a short story workshop full of amazing writers. Feeling lucky today!
