I just published "Waiting at the Depot." I'd love to hear what you think of the piece.

You can put The General's Hot Sauce on just about anything, say the three former Marines who head up the South Carolina-based business. Well, maybe not ice cream. A recent feature in @SCLiving_Mag

Two things I never thought I'd see in the same subject header: Juvenile and NPR. Scroll ahead to the 20 minute mark and try not to move nor bounce nor twerk.

This week marks 10 years since the passing of my friend, longtime @UCHSathletics girls basketball coach Gerald Tabor. I'd kid him for his resemblance to Jim Boeheim and he thought it was since he couldn't win the big one. I still miss Coach.

@DodgersNation Greg Brock. All that supposed power never really materialized.

My latest: She makes good biscuits. And candy. And really creepy Halloween decorations. She's won 300-plus ribbons at the @SCStateFair. @SCLiving_Mag

Like author Lee Cole, I too grew up in western Kentucky. His debut novel Groundskeeping tells well the people, places and politics of the place we call home. https://t.co/4mWTX9QkNJ

@YasAWriter You did drop deep knowledge, just like a silent assassin. Thanks again for dropping by and best of luck on the revision of Book Three.

[Michael Banks @MichaelBanksNC]

Enjoyed hearing author @YasAWriter at the Charlotte Writers Club on 1/17/2023. Takeaway? "The most important person to believe in your book, is you" and "all it takes is one yes" to open those doors. Thanks Yasmin for sharing the knowledge. #WritingCommunity

Coletta Shouse was a fighter all the way to the end, even when her final breath passed from her lips on Jan. 7, 2023, in a Henderson hospital room surrounded by her loved ones. She was 81 years old. https://t.co/jTpvq2Z4kN

Zach Lemhouse is not only a talented musician, but he's also a lover and teacher of history.
It's through his violin and music that he's helping to tell others about South Carolina's storied past. https://t.co/EZBFGfmFfg
