One of the things that makes me bittersweet cry? Going (there are many stamps in this homebody’s passports) to a place I have read about and discovering that literally present I am best a visitor and likely a stranger. That started when I was a child and snuck away from Motown to hide in Switzerland via the pages of Heidi. My favorite way to travel is through reading. I’m a homebody who writes about her home towns. I write about the cities I have lived in and loved, Detroit, Washington, D.C., and Nashville. My first novel is stuck in Georgia and makes a jaunt to D.C. Detroit, where I was born, figures prominently in three of my five novels, Nashville where I live now in four of five. An autobiographical element of my fiction is my sense of place.
