has finally died.
And after weeks of practicing for
Buffalo Baeker's funeral,
many are glad to see him go.

really was a good man?
A labor of love born from
the loss of my parents
- a story of wanting to run away
while fighting to get back home
Katie Mae Wallace is an Alice of a different bent.
A thirty-year-old woman
shrinking from the path leading
her back home
to her mother's battle with Alzheimer’s.
With the walls closing in
on her life,
Katie envisions a plan to remake her world her way -
But it'll take one day
down the Cox family
rabbit hole.
I was a hometown reporter who liked to tell stories.
Then I was a mother who kept on writing.
Now I am an author with Southern tales of my own to share -
Growing up just across the bridge from Memphis, I feel the Mid-South's capital is as much home to me as Arkansas. So I've made one of my first short stories a sip of Memphis and the melting pot of music and culture it's always been.
To get the taste of my writing, I'm offering y'all a Southern-flavored story.
"Bearing Gifts" is the journey of one mother to reach her daughter, reminiscent of the Magi searching for the Light.
In this tale race is the richness of people.
Music brings harmony to our lives.
And family is the treasure we must seek.
