I have a wonderful slide show about Eastern North Carolina in 1923. This contains lots of stories about bootlegging and rum-running during Prohibition. Boats and Booze and Rag and Jazz.

Biography

While growing up in Beaufort, North Carolina, I often heard rum-running stories from the Prohibition era. Although fern bars, yachts, and supermarkets may have replaced the old working-boat waterfront, the town still values its unique Southern history. Since I became a freelance writer in 2014, I've written short stories, essays, magazine articles, content, and blogs. I'm also a bona fide, dyed-in-the-wool fan of historical fiction and mysteries. I'm also a long-time member of Sisters in Crime and the Triangle Area Freelancers in Raleigh, North Carolina. When I'm not writing historical fiction, or fighting for environmental and humanitarian injustices, I love to sail on a fair Southeast breeze. Preferably at the helm of a wooden Sharpie.
