Author photos...why are they so, well, weird? Somehow connecting your words with your picture feels overexposed? My friend Anna Gallant Carter took some for me this week, and they turned out FAB. Thanks Anna.

Charlotte Lit

Check them out for some terrific workshops and write-ins. Join up and use their studio space, too.

Charlotte Writers Club

Here's the lowdown on the Mount Zion dig, sponsored by UNC Charlotte, which I worked on this past summer. Look interesting? Check out the site and you could find yourself down in a hole scraping two centuries old dirt right outside the Old City walls of Jerusalem.
