About Me

Former newspaper editor leaves her southern American magnolia roots, marries her British husband (online crush for 10 years) and moves to England. As if balancing her teaching career as a college lecturer, driving on the 'right' side of road and adding milk to hot tea isn't enough - they are trying their hand at fertility treatment through IVF with an egg donor to have a little one of their own! Perhaps some babies do come by stork... Sidenote: I’m a freelance writer who is constantly on the lookout for new publications. If you are interested and looking for a writer with a fresh ideas, please contact me at londonsouthernbelle@gmail.com

I am your average belle with steel Magnolia, sweet potato queen baggage and it follows me everywhere - lingering in the sentences I say and the dinner parties I host. Underneath it all, I am an urban girl at heart and spent most of my upbringing scampering through cornfields in America's southland collecting ladybugs and not missing a Sunday morning of church. Despite my adventurous teenage heart, I had only visited a handful of states in the southern part of the USA yet, yearned to see much more. After graduating from university in Northern Mississippi - I packed everything I owned into three suitcases and moved to Chicago. There I realised that there is more to jazz music than random notes being played and also that snow is more than just cold - it is *FREEZING*! I then went back to my roots and found myself living in Dallas making some incredible friends and enjoying an inovative career. To this day, I miss Dallas more than any of the places I have ever called "home". A former newspaper editor, I am now happily married to my first love (whom I met online over 10 years ago), in the process of begining a family of our own through IVF treatments and living on the outskirts of London where I am a college professor and in grad school obtaining my Masters Degree. In my spare time, I am travelling Europe with my sweet husband, working on my first novel as well as a children's book series and perfecting my British accent of course! Since taking on the big city I must consider myself a southern dame with a bite, clearly full of feisty, feminine charm. This is my life.
