About Me

I'm a writer in north Georgia and my love of stories started when I was a tiny thing sitting in my Nanny's lap. She made reading time special and I got lost in the stories she shared with me. Since then I have been writing poetry, short stories, picture books, a novel (and am a self-proclaimed book hoarder).

I am also a painter. Please feel free to browse my work at Jeffcoat Art.

This Week's Picture Book: "Ignis" by Gina Wilson

What a wonderful and sweet story written by Gina Wilson! Any child could relate to Ignis as he struggles to breathe fire. He wonders if he's even a real dragon at all. (As an adult, I can relate to this!). He spends time with other animals and a little girl to find himself, but it's not until he's completely alone and at his lowest that he finds his inner fire. I also love P. J. Lynch's illustrations. The color palette is rich and earthy with beautiful detail. A great picture book.
