A Georgia girl through and through, I grew up just a stone’s throw away from the banks of Lake Lanier and my family’s ties to the area north of Macon date back generations. Traveling is my passion, and whether that’s hopping on a plane to faraway lands or exploring the treasures to be found here in my home state, you’ll rarely find me at home except to curl up with a book telling tales of long ago. A history buff with a soft spot for romance, I am most intrigued by landscapes untouched by time, local legends and lore, and heritage sites significant to cultural understanding. But I am not immune to the call of adventure, oh no! Just as long as it’s on my own terms—no alligators and snakes for me, thank you very much!
