Tell me more…

Thanks for stopping by! Carlton Landing is a wonderful, walkable community in the heart of Oklahoma. Learn more about this city, which began in 2013, on its website. According to Wikipedia, Carlton Landing was conceived by Grant Humphreys, and he was inspired by visits to Seaside, Florida, one of the first communities designed according to the tenets of New Urbanism. 

My books, The Favorite Color Series, are set in this lakeside community. My family and I, along with our friends, often visit Carlton Landing for weekend getaways.
