Bio

I've served as a public policy analyst, journalist & advocate for women & children. People have more power than they know. I see the world for what it is & still own joy & humor. Above all, I'm simply a writer, fortunate to do work I love.

Four Steps of Birth
Ungentle, heaving riptides push young wet crown on final slip to light. Skin aflame with cold, icy burning through young lungs

Quiet Mourning
Green pastures hide me Rest still beside the grey sea Cloud to ash… I’m free

Her eyes were muddy And her chest ballooned forward Until rage spilled out

Lessons from Little Black Book
Part of what drives me as a writer is that I KNOW there is a book inside me that is meant for the world. I have known that since I was 10 years old, but now, at almost 56 (April 26th!), I still haven’t found where that book is located inside my brain. My heart knows that it’s there, but I can’t seem to dig it out. I’m going to win a Pulitzer for my Great American Novel, my heart has told me since I first learned what that was. I can win this $20,000 Little Black Book contest, my heart insisted.

Of Grief and Elephants
Almost hidden in the intricate design of the brass handle was a small, raised notch. Surprised, Jo Bautista slid it sideways with a fingernail, and the desk drawer whispered open, as if it hadn’t given her any trouble moments before.
