In March 2020, my first novel, Victorine, debuted. It’s about the nearly forgotten artist Victorine Meurent, more commonly known as painter Édouard Manet’s favorite model. (She sat for Olympia and Luncheon on the Grass and many more of his paintings.)

In November 2020, I completed my second novel, Southern-Fried Woolf. (Coming late 2022.) The cover for it below is not finalized, but is something like what I expect it to be.

I am now writing my third novel. It’s way too early to talk about it, but I’m excitedly pounding out a draft, after having spent a couple of weeks at a writing retreat doing research. (Still researching as I write, as always.)

Here’s is a gorgeous song from the EP that my husband, Barry Drudge, wrote for Victorine’s release. ©Copyright 2020. All rights reserved.
