A published non-fiction author, a Fulbright scholar and a National Endowment for the Humanities co-recipient briefly sums up her career in academia.
As a professional artist in mixed media and documental photography with a stint in fresco painting, four years ago she picked up sketching and painting on canvas again, which sparked, lit the kindling, and started the fire to write this book. It was a leap of faith from her city life and extensive travel back to her love for Tennessee, the country and kin—past and present.
Her first project of historical fiction, she loves reading others’ works of like kind that creatively mix history and fact with lore. Reading into the wee hours with thunder, lightning and rain overhead is one of her favorite past times. Today Berryhill lives with her husband and cat on the Cumberland River in the Tennessee woodlands.view less
