Sweet Tea and Southern Grace is in the genre of Christian Fiction and is the author's first published novel. It is in the style of Jan Karon's Mitford Series and its setting is a small Southern town in rural America where sitting on front porches, drinking sweet iced tea out of heirloom glasses, and participating in innocent gossip are the favorite pastimes of the good folks of Park Place, South Carolina. The story revolves around the town's Presbyterian Church and its almost meddlesome minister, Reverend Rock Clark, whose meddling ways quite often get him into trouble. There's a sweet romance brewing between the story lines, but the young preacher is too busy tending to his flock and putting out fires to recognize it. A culmination of mystery, intrigue and God's grace makes this book a delightful read.

A stranger's murder in the dark alley behind May's Flower Shop is causing the residents of Park Place, South Carolina to keep their children inside and their doors locked at night. Banty Hen Antique Shop owners, Sam and Valerie Owens, are caught right smack dab in the middle since they were the last ones to see the victim alive. Valerie's new venture, the Sweet Tea Quilting Bee is comprised of an eclectic mix of women, calling themselves 'newbies' and 'oldies' in the art of quilting. Their weekly meetings help keep Valerie's mind off the murder, but it's hard to keep the secret from the ladies that the victim was killed over, of all things, a quilt! The murder suspect has been described as tall and thin, a pitifully vague description, but Police Chief Jess Hamilton and his new detective, a self-described Columbo, are on the case, questioning every tall and thin person in town. Even Sister Margaret, a nun who has just begun her mission at St. Gabriel's Catholic Church, doesn't go unnoticed. But it's hard not to notice a nun who dances, and sings along with country music when she thinks no one's watching.

In High Tide at Pelican Pointe, we once again begin our story in the quaint little town of Park Place, nestled in the heart of the Olde English District of South Carolina. We find the good Reverend Rock Clark and his very pregnant wife, Liz, making preparations to take a much needed beach vacation, leaving the busyness of his growing congregation behind. They've been gifted ten days in Miss Edie's Pelican Pointe beach house with three days alone before the rowdy Clark clan joins them for their annual pilgrimage to the sea. Even though the Clarks add a lot of fun and adventure to the vacation, Liz is a little overwhelmed by all the drama and activity of a large family, but she soon fits right in and grows to love them all. She and Rock will need their support when the story takes a sudden turn from a few days of peace and tranquility by the sea to the dark and sinister happenings on the west end of the island. Hold on to your beach hats, because for Rev Rock and Liz, there's trouble in paradise.
