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.
