Welcome to Cole County, where we bring you the best of all city living in Carruthersville, mountain views from Slate Ridge, sandy beaches along Lake Boulder, and quaint towns filled with family-owned shops and charm. Cole County's tagline "Small-Town Hearts, Big-City Dreams" describes a growing population of visitors who soon become family. If you're visiting this autumn, be sure to join us for our annual Fall Festival. Local vendors provide a variety of fair food, fun adventures in the dark, and national live bands. Those more partial to the heat, come see our award-winning Fourth of July Celebration. A weekend full of parade magic and lakeside activities for all ages. For cold-weather travelers, come join us for our Lumberjack Showcase, and be sure to grab a Christmas tree to take home with you. In the spring, the traveling rodeo comes to town. It's an event you simply don't want to miss. We hope that everyone who comes for a Cole County experience will fall in love with the landscape and the people. Visit Cole County, where memories are made!

I'm a bookworm. My family teases me because I'll even read a book while I watch TV. Watching the game? Yup, I'm reading during the commercials. Writing started off as a hobby. I would write what I wanted to read. When I was younger, I thought it was fun to write better versions of my favorite books... it all went well until the epic smut I wrote was discovered and I got grounded for two weeks. Now I can't get grounded anymore :)
