She made the move about a year ago, after a 21-year career in law enforcement, to a 100-year-old farm that belonged to her boyfriend’s grandfather. Necessity is the mother of invention and often the birth of new business. While shopping for herbs, Roberson couldn’t find what she wanted, so she put up a greenhouse and started growing her own under

Elberton, Georgia native gives tips on getting your book published

After writing my first book, Notes from My Father’s Bible, and having it published, I would like to share with you my experience and my advice.

You want to
