In this first episode of our special countdown series, I’m taking you back to where it all began—Mamaw’s front porch.

Join me as I share how storytelling shaped my childhood, the eerie memories that stayed with me, and how those moments helped bring The Darkness in Blackwater Ridge to life. We’ll talk about how I became a writer, where the idea for the book came from, and how spooky stories and Southern tradition wove themselves into the fabric of the tale.

I’ll also introduce the fictional town of Blackwater Ridge, give you a peek into its dark history, and read the very first excerpt from the novel.

So settle in, because the journey into the shadows begins now.
