Spring is here on Hilton Head Island

It is officially spring in the Lowcountry and the weather is lovely and the young people on spring breaks are arriving. We welcome visitors because it is our main source of income. We are lucky when the weather is good because it brings more guests to our island. I am working to make our island even more desirable by asking our town to get rid of pesticides and herbicides on town property. First, the town, next the entire island. Hopefully this will spread to our county and state next. No one wants to walk on poisons, nor do they want their children or pets to walk on them either.

Stay tuned for updates on the use of pesticides and herbicides.

Read Across America Day

I was honored to be part of Read Across America on March 2, 2022. I read the book Brush Up Your Shakespeare with Rosencrantz & Guildenstern to three classrooms in New Jersey. They organized someone from each state to read to their children and I represented South Carolina reading my new book. The very fun part was after reading the book the boys came into my office and I was able to hold them up and show them to the children. I also send their book to all the teachers.

Watch new Podcast on Deceit, Disappearance & Death!

Renee Roberson, a podcaster from Charlotte NC presents a new look into the cold case on Hilton Head Island. The two part podcast is full of interesting points and her delivery is definitely worth a listen.

As a writer, I found the presentation enlightening and rather scary.

You can listen to the podcasts on Apple Podcasts called Missing in the Carolinas. Episode 5 is Part one of Liz and John Calvert and Episode 6 is Part Two. You will be happy you did.

Coldest winter I remember on Hilton Head Island

This is the coldest day I remember on Hilton Head Island. I have lived here 40 years and, yes, it has snowed, but the weather did not seem this cold. The wind was blowing stink this morning and the house seemed to move. Really!

My cats, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, are curled up and cozy. It makes me realize what people in colder climates are going through. Stay warm and read a book. I can recommend two right now.

You may find yourself in Confessions of Madness

Many people who are reading Confessions of Madness are discovering that they, too, suffer from depression and did not have a name for their suffering. This is a great book for everyone to read because one in five people has a mental illness and you or someone you love or care about is hurting. Being there is the beginning. Sometimes it is all you need to do.

Confessions of Madness by Wendall Churchill

We are launching a new book in August. It is called Confessions of Madness: My Journey with Mental Illness by Wendall Churchill. Wendall gives an honest approach to her battle with bipolar I disorder. This is a nonfiction account of something a great deal of people suffer every day. This small pocket book is filled with beautiful illustrations from the author. Stay tuned for the release date. It will appear under books.

March 3, 2019 marks eleven years since the disappearance of Liz & John Calvert.

The eleventh year since the disappearance of Liz and John Calvert is March 3. I am hopeful that this will be the year that the case is solved.

Someone knows something and that someone will say something soon. People always do. And, when someone talks, I want to hear what they have to say.

If you know anything, please tell the authorities. You can call Bob Bromage at the Sheriff’s Office at 1-888-CRIMESC. The case may be cold, but it is still open.
