I am an award-winning author who’s passionate about writing and animals. I am currently the volunteer Director for Georgia SPOT Society, Inc. We help pet owners financially to spay and neuter their companion animals. This is a critical objective given the state of the pet overpopulation in the US, particularly in the state of Georgia, where I live. Thousands of dogs are either put to death each year or warehoused for years. I also walk dogs at my local shelter and post about them needing homes. I have managed to get hundreds of animals adopted or fostered through my efforts.

I wanted to find a way to not only entertain people but, also bring awareness to the messages of this important issue so I wrote a children’s book – Life Lessons of Lucy Lu, a black shelter dog who finally gets adopted. What better way to teach the next generation than through the eyes of a cute puppy!

Next, I wrote Sutherland’s Crossing, A Beau Crenshaw Detective Novel, for adults. This is the first murder mystery book in the Beau Crenshaw series.

I also produced a series of journals because I love journals and use them for everything. I figured if I like journals, there may be others out there who feel the same way I do.

A portion of the net profits is donated to Georgia SPOT Society to help fund the cause. This along with private donations, fundraisers and grants, we are able to help spay hundreds of animals each year which prevents thousands from entering the shelter system, being abused or neglected. My loving sister also helps the cause by knitting fancy scarves, sewing bandannas, totes and scrunchies. She donates 100% of everything and even pays to ship it to me from Canada.

I love to share stories so I hope you will join me in my journey as I produce more books for you to enjoy and so together, we can continue to get lost in the world of words! I hope you will become a part of my tribe that loves to read and to help animals! I want to someday move to the country where I can create Sutherland’s Crossing Sanctuary, a haven for animals who will be loved and taken care of. You can feel good knowing that when you purchase my books, you are not only being entertained, but you are doing good in the world! Together we can make change!

Your positive reviews helps to spread the word and your donations help to spay and neuter more animals.

Stay tuned for the 2nd book of the Beau Crenshaw Detective Series – Untethered Justice – Christmas 2024
