Sweet Tea and Southern Grace is in the genre of Christian Fiction and is the author's first published novel. It is in the style of Jan Karon's Mitford Series and its setting is a small Southern town in rural America where sitting on front porches, drinking sweet iced tea out of heirloom glasses, and participating in innocent gossip are the favorite pastimes of the good folks of Park Place, South Carolina. The story revolves around the town's Presbyterian Church and its almost meddlesome minister, Reverend Rock Clark, whose meddling ways quite often get him into trouble. There's a sweet romance brewing between the story lines, but the young preacher is too busy tending to his flock and putting out fires to recognize it. A culmination of mystery, intrigue and God's grace makes this book a delightful read.

A stranger's murder in the dark alley behind May's Flower Shop is causing the residents of Park Place, South Carolina to keep their children inside and their doors locked at night. Banty Hen Antique Shop owners, Sam and Valerie Owens, are caught right smack dab in the middle since they were the last ones to see the victim alive. Valerie's new venture, the Sweet Tea Quilting Bee is comprised of an eclectic mix of women, calling themselves 'newbies' and 'oldies' in the art of quilting. Their weekly meetings help keep Valerie's mind off the murder, but it's hard to keep the secret from the ladies that the victim was killed over, of all things, a quilt! The murder suspect has been described as tall and thin, a pitifully vague description, but Police Chief Jess Hamilton and his new detective, a self-described Columbo, are on the case, questioning every tall and thin person in town. Even Sister Margaret, a nun who has just begun her mission at St. Gabriel's Catholic Church, doesn't go unnoticed. But it's hard not to notice a nun who dances, and sings along with country music when she thinks no one's watching.

In High Tide at Pelican Pointe, we once again begin our story in the quaint little town of Park Place, nestled in the heart of the Olde English District of South Carolina. We find the good Reverend Rock Clark and his very pregnant wife, Liz, making preparations to take a much needed beach vacation, leaving the busyness of his growing congregation behind. They've been gifted ten days in Miss Edie's Pelican Pointe beach house with three days alone before the rowdy Clark clan joins them for their annual pilgrimage to the sea. Even though the Clarks add a lot of fun and adventure to the vacation, Liz is a little overwhelmed by all the drama and activity of a large family, but she soon fits right in and grows to love them all. She and Rock will need their support when the story takes a sudden turn from a few days of peace and tranquility by the sea to the dark and sinister happenings on the west end of the island. Hold on to your beach hats, because for Rev Rock and Liz, there's trouble in paradise.

In the case of Lula Horne, fifty-five is the new sixty-five, and she’s proud of it. Lula despises modern technology and prefers walking her dog to attending hot yoga. She spends her days tending her perennial garden and cooking for sick friends. She’s stubborn and opinionated and committed to her traditional values, a nonconformist if ever there was one. When her daughter brings her girlfriend home for a visit, Lula goes off like the firework display at her Fourth of July party. For twenty-six years, Midge, Lula, and Georgia have watched the seasons change and their children grow up while sipping tea on Georgia’s front porch. One Tuesday in early June, Georgia shares news that brings their long-standing social hour to an abrupt halt. Over the course of that summer, everything changes for them. A secret drives them apart and an unexpected diagnosis brings them back together again. As these three women share their lives—their past sorrows and fears of an uncertain future—readers will shed more than one tear.

Funny, witty Cassandra Phillips has reason to be cynical. Life has dealt her numerous blows so she's put up an impenetrable wall around her own heart. Jilted by her husband for another woman, she now faces what she calls "the Big C" diagnosis, proof enough that even God has deserted her. Independent and strong-willed, she's determined to fight this battle alone, but when the pounds start melting away because of the chemo, her big sister steps in and whisks her away under the guise of a summer vacation. She coddles and cares for her like a mother hen, willing her to get well. The lively seaport town revives her soul as well as her body, and all goes well until a blue-eyed mystery man moves in next door to the little house they've rented. Sparks literally fly when they're together and she's both intrigued and suspicious when she surmises that he may have ties to a drug smuggling operation. Is it true, or is it her writer's imagination working overtime that makes her think so? Whoever this man is, his blue eyes have cast a spell upon her heart. Just when it appears he's equally smitten with her, things go terribly wrong when drugs, greed and wrong choices threaten to tear their worlds apart. Finding God again may be the last thing on her mind, but it may be the only thing that can save her.
