Matilda

Fast-paced and unpredictable, Matilda will take the reader on a journey into the unsettling resilience of the human spirit. Conceived on a late summer morning in 1999, the storyline for Matilda came to me in the aftermath of Hurricane Floyd. I walked out onto my front porch to survey the storm’s damage. In my driveway, I found a run-down pick-up truck and two desperate looking men. In that instant, I knew real danger. Matilda is the tale of what might have happened if a shotgun had not intervened on that post-storm morning.
