About Me

I spent my high school and college years waiting tables in Memphis, Tennessee – most of them on Beale Street. These days, you’ll find me a little farther south, living with my family in Birmingham, Alabama. And while I’m no longer waiting tables, I am always looking to welcome you in, get you something to eat, and invite you to stay a spell. I bet you’ve got plenty of stories to tell me, and I’ve got some for you, too.

Someone once compared reading my books to getting a big, warm hug, and I've gotta say, I'm not sure anything will ever top that. So if you're looking for books with heart, heat, and plenty of humor, then you've come to the right place. Grab one and let's get cozy.

I loved this one so much. The characters are amazing, the banter is hilarious, the spice is perfect, and the witchy vibes is the perfect amount of fairy dust over the whole thing.
