I was born and raised in Yazoo City, Mississippi, and was educated at  The University of Mississippi , where I earned a B.A. in English, an M.A. in English, and completed the coursework for a Ph.D.  I moved to Waycross, Georgia, when I joined the faculty of Waycross College in 1991.  My interests include reading, writing, singing, painting, and traveling. I currently serve The Brontë Society as representative for the Deep South region of the American Chapters. My favorite authors include Emily Brontë, Edgar Allan Poe, Thomas Hardy, Charles Dickens, O. Henry, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Jonathan Gash, Caroline Hart, and Chelsea Quinn Yarbro. I enjoy many different types of music and am particularly interested in folk music, as well as folklore and folk literature. My favorite visual artists include most of the Pre-Raphaelites, Michelangelo, Fragonard, and Escher, and I have a growing interest in the decorative arts.
