Dear Reader

Welcome to my website! 

Spring is here and the sea turtles are out in the swells along the South Carolina coast.  The turtle hospital at the SC Aquarium has already received patients.  We hope we will have a record number of nests this summer.  You can learn about the loggerheads--their nesting saga and their rehabilitation at the turtle hospital--in my novel, SWIMMING LESSONS (the sequel to THE BEACH HOUSE).  It is now available in trade paperback.  Also in May, THE BOOK CLUB will be re-released in trade paperback.

I'm excited because in July my new novel, TIME IS A RIVER will be released in hard cover from Pocket Books.   TIME IS A RIVER is the story of Mia Landan, a woman recovering from breast cancer in a mountain cabin near Asheville, North Carolina.  She discovers the journal of a sensational fly fisher of the 1920s, one that holds secrets that span generations and holds the power to change her life and the lives of her community.   In this novel I'll bring you to the beautiful, cool rivers and streams of the North Carolina mountains!      

Soon my website will have lots to share with you about TIME IS A RIVER, including excerpts and my tour schedule.  I hope to meet you as I visit bookstores this summer.

Until then, happy reading~
