“The story is sassy and sexy; her characters are fresh and real. I adored Dancing Naked in Dixie and I’m sure you will too.”

From the Author
Ms. Clark uses her own experience to write her novels, and much like the main character Julia in ‘Dancing Naked in Dixie’ she was drawn to the charm of the Deep South and made the move from New York state to Mobile, Alabama 10 years ago.
“There is so much to love about my ‘new’ home. The people are friendly and welcoming, they are fiercely proud of their heritage and history, and have a long-standing belief in the importance of church, family, and community.
I wanted to take some of my own experiences, insert them into Julia’s life, and watch how she grows and changes as a result. The fun of this storyline involves Julia discovering how wrong she was about the Deep South. It’s a life-changing experience for her. It’s my hope that readers feel that Dixie honors and celebrates cultural differences.”

Ok Lauren, I live to read. In fact, I spend most my life reading. I’m not independently wealthy or lazy just disabled to such a degree that reading is my favourite passtime since my body refuses to agree with most other activities.
Now, I’m caught between my island and my book so I compromised and this is my solution;
Get stranded on a deserted Caribbean Island(nice villa prepared) with several different ereaders full of books. Since one of my ereaders has 10,000 contemporary books and then there are all of those Project Gutenburg classics, I wouldn’t run out of reading material for many years. Electric power to recharge my ebooks you say, well wind & solar of course, this is a Caribbean Island with a good breeze & lots of sun. Boy, it’s nice to dream isn’t it!!
