About this series
What happens when a girl leaves the farm? She gets herself in one hell of a mess. When Emma’s cousin Christine shows up on her door one night clothed only in her pajamas and a robe Emma is set on a journey that takes her down a very dark and dangerous path. Christine lives about an hour away in another state and she has driven to Emma’s home with a strange tale.
Christine claims to have witnessed her neighbor being drug off into the woods behind her house by some unbelievable monster and the police in her town are trying to cover things up. Christine says that the man’s wife has been taken away in an ambulance and the police are trying to keep what happened quiet. The worst part is that her neighbor isn’t the only one who has disappeared under strange circumstances. There have been seven in the past year and this has been going on for decades in and around that town.
Emma finds out just how real the threat is when she returns with Christine to her home and finds her cousin’s house in shambles and the police are unwilling to talk. The screams that break through the cold overcast day and makes Emma and her family’s blood run cold is like nothing they have ever heard. They know they need to get away from there as quickly as possible before whatever that is in the woods makes it back to the house and them.

- Blood Lines The Curse
1
Shortly after losing her mother, Emma is notified her paternal grandmother had also passed away. Thinking that this grandmother had passed away years ago this was a real shock to her. Emma also learns she is the last in her father’s bloodline and she has inherited everything her grandmother owned. That included a large farm, money, and other things of value. What no one tells her is that she has also inherited a family curse. Now Emma has to find a way to end the curse before it fulfils itself. So, what does that mean? Emma has to die and someone or something is going to see to it that happens.
- Blood Lines Buried Treasure
2
Emma was settling into her new home in Missouri and things were going great. She had inherited the farm from her Grandmother when she had died the year before. Emma soon found out that her family’s estate came with more than the land. There was a curse and a few specters that had made things a little rough for a while. It would appear a buried treasure has been added to the list as well to go along with everything else. The biggest problem with that is there are people out there looking for that treasure and they are by far worse than any ghost she had fought. Now she has a new love in her life and planning a future but those people have every intention of cutting those plans short and ending Emma's life. The body count is rising: can she and her pieced together family stop them or will Emma and her friends be added to the rising body count. Among Emma’s little army she does have a secret weapon. Those pesky spirits that had caused so much trouble when she came back are now fighting on her side and Emma is going to need each one and even they may not be enough to defeat these monstrous individuals.

I love the twisted and macabre. I also love the old horror where the thing that went bump in the night scared you and not all the blood gushing from a jagged wound that is more likely to gross you out. There is a difference. Don’t get me wrong I can do gore and quite well when I need to.I’m also not a young adult author. I’m way too old for that and personally at this point in my life I want to read a book that involves men and women over twenty five and under one hundred and twenty five. If you’re younger than that I don’t think you’ll care and if you’re older than that, then God bless you and let me know, I’ll change the upper end of the timeline.I tend to be outspoken and nothing is sacred when it comes to my writing. Well that part isn’t entirely true. The farm in the Blood Lines series is and I don’t apologize for that. I started writing because of that farm.I strive to create the unusual and different and that’s not always easy, as a matter of fact, it’s hard. I try hard not to do the tried and true.When I read a horror story I want to read a horror story. Can it have love and caring in it? Sure, but let’s keep things in perspective. I want to scare you and I’ll leave it up to other really good authors, and there are some really good ones, to give you all that other stuff.I set out to write horror. I will take you to places in my books you’ve never been before and along the way I may make you laugh because what fun is real horror if it can’t make you laugh on occasion? The good part about the humor, you still have to turn the page and what waits for you there might not be so funny.I have also recently become a producer for the short horror film, She Summoned Him. I'm looking forward to the the release.I'm married to a wonderful man, Buddy, and between us we have three very beautiful daughters. We love to travel in our converted 1963 Greyhound 4106 and discover new places and meeting new people. I grew up with four wonderful brothers, one of which is no longer with us. I was born in Mississippi, grew up in Tennessee, and fell in love with Missouri as well as a man who comes from there.I am surprised at how much writing has helped me grow as a person. I pay a lot more attention to things around me than I used to and can find a story in almost everything I see and hear. I have also learned what a truly dark sense of humor I have. I love making people raise an eyebrow at me on occasion.My husband and I were recently at a local restaurant and were picking at one another. The waiter walked up about that time and I asked if they had an oven large enough to put a body in. He asked why and after a short explanation with a wicked little gleam in his eye he told me they did. What concerned me was that wicked little gleam. I have since found out that a lot of restaurants do have ovens big enough to hold a human body. My suggestion to you is not to make the waiting staff of any eating establishment angry. You might end in up on the menu the next night.With seven books of my own under my belt, at present count, nine short story books, one exceptional book of short stories along with eight other gifted writers and the next one in the Blood Lines Series that I'm working on I'm pretty happy with where I am in my life right now.
