Shayla McAnn

Ms. Shayla McAnn is not only one of my pennames, she is a fictional character created by me. While LA is Servin' Grits With Grace down at the Pine Haven Cafe, Ms. Shayla McAnn is Blessin' Hearts with Tales From The Front Porch Swing. You can find her sittin' out on her porch, gossipin', (throat clearing), tellin' stories to the good folks of Pine Haven. She always has a pitcher of iced sweet tea and one of Lemonade. She may even have some Mimosas, or wine stashed somewhere if you ask.

I guess you could say, they each have a role to play within the grand scheme of things. They each have their own distinctive voices and storytelling styles. But, they often get into it, so I have separated them. LA will tell some stories on her blog, down at the Pine Haven Cafe, and Shayla will continue Blessin' Hearts on the Front Porch Swing Blog.

She is named after my sweet Sealah (pronounced Shayla), who crossed the rainbow bridge, and my two-and-a-half-year-old little Parson Russell Terrier, Mackenzie, and my middle name, Ann.

The stories they share on their own blogs are for your enjoyment. They're often snippets of what is cut in the editing room from our novels, and some are true stories, though neither will ever own that.
