The Girl Time Forgot: June Calloway Steps Into the Spotlight

 The Girl Time Forgot: June Calloway Steps Into the Spotlight

After spinning June Calloway off into her own series, the first book, The Girl Time Forgot, finally came to life. June’s investigative work takes us through the fictional town of Grady, NC, across North Carolina, and even into the Charlotte Metro area, giving readers a mix of small-town charm and urban intrigue.

Interestingly, I originally wrote this story back in 1998, so revisiting the manuscript meant updating and polishing it to fit today’s context. One fun detail! Charlotte is building a beautiful new library, which I included in the book. Although in reality, it won’t be complete and open to the public until 2026. It’s exciting to imagine readers encountering a location in the story before it even exists in real life!

For me, June’s story represents a new direction. One that blends mystery, human connection, and a sense of place that readers can almost step into. I can’t wait to share more of her investigations and the corners of North Carolina she uncovers along the way.

Here is a link with information about what the Charlotte library will be like once completed.
