I am a writer and a retired high school English teacher living in Shreveport but my heart is in Acadiana. My book, Cane River Bohemia: Cammie Henry and Melrose Plantation, was published in Fall 2018 by LSU Press. I've been published at The American Thinker, The Shreveport Times, The Bossier Press Tribune and had photographs published in Bayou Bucks magazine, The Forum, and other local publications. I like dogs better than most people.
