Ship Watch is an engrossing saga filled with Southern family theatrics, the magic of second chances, and monumental characters... one that brings an unforgettable and gratifying finale.

His three cookbooks, Rise and Shine!, Cook & Tell, and Cook & Celebrate have been described as deliciously readable culinary anthologies, each hailed for its collection of personal and entertaining stories as well as for the content of outstanding Southern recipes.

"Ship Watch is the closest you’ll come to breathing the rarified air of the Southern aristocracy. Grab your cocktail of choice and settle in for excess and exes, second chances, and at least one epic Julia Sugarbaker-style setting-things-to-right takedown."
- Jeffrey Dale Lofton  
Award-winning author of Red Clay Suzie
