Escape to the bayou.
Take A Look At My First Chapter Here.
Chapter 1 will introduce you to the tenacious but troubled Dr. Willa Watters and the small Louisiana town she’s been forced to return to, Broken Bayou.
Dr. Willa Watters is a prominent child psychologist at the height of her career. But when a viral video of a disastrous television interview puts her reputation on the line, Willa retreats to Broken Bayou, the town where she spent most of her childhood summers. There she visits her aunts’ old house and discovers some of her unstable mother’s belongings still languishing in the attic—dusty mementos harboring secrets of her harrowing past.
Broken Bayou reached #1 in the Amazon Kindle store and became international when foreign rights were sold in Hungary. It is also available at independent bookstores. If you want to support Indie, click below.

Let’s talk.
Launching Broken Bayou has been a dream come true! Part of that dream is getting to discuss on podcasts and interviews my inspiration for the book, my true crime addiction, and of course SEC football (Geaux Tigers!). I’ve been so fortunate to be able to share my journey on this crazy ride.
