The stories get better when you take the back roads.
Fun stories, good food, unexpected places, and the occasional questionable decision that makes the best story later.
DOLLICIOUSLY ME
Back roads. Good food. Stories the pictures can't tell.
I have never been particularly good at sticking to the itinerary. Give me the back road, the little restaurant somebody's grandma swears by, the town most people drive straight through, or the story that begins with, “Well, this ain't exactly what we had planned.”
Dolliciously Me is where I collect those stories—the places I've wandered, the food worth remembering, and all the things that happened outside the frame of the photograph.
From the Back Roads
The latest detours, discoveries, meals, mishaps, and stories worth bringing home.
My Son Bought His First Beer at Seven Years Old
Where the Heck Is the Kitchen?
The Naked Truth
Books
And sometimes, I make things up.
When I'm not writing about the places I've been, I write about people who feel like they could have lived down the road. Dollie Jean's fiction novels are rooted in country roads, complicated women, family, friendship, humor, heart, and the places we never quite leave behind.
Come along for the ride.
