I was born in Maryville, Tennessee, but many of my ancestors are from Sevier County, Tennessee. I am an author of historical fiction and poetry and also compose and record songs that have an Appalachian/folk sound. I love doing photography and traveling. I have been doing genealogy for over thirty years.
