Here are the facts: I am southern in my habits and history, and I believe bookcases are the most important furniture in any dwelling. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am a serious writer of serious literature full of serious themes, ideas, and symbols--also big words. On Wednesdays and Fridays, I tend to write seriously about lighter subjects. I have written a children's chapter book and written and illustrated an inspirational picture book. I am currently attending Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, where my professors encourage me to write seriously about serious and important ideas--also exploding coffins.
