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.

Out Like a Lion
The crisp night air cooled my disappointment. Snow was falling more thickly than when I arrived at Taft Hall, only to find that Public Safety had canceled the March event due to weather. My dorm was just a five-minute walk, so I declined their offer to stay.

I am in my favorite position. I am sitting up in my queen-sized bed, legs straight out in front of me, my back against the cushioned bookcase headboard, big snowflakes falling wet and heavy against my windowpane, and my fingers stretched over my laptop keys. The music of wind and pelting snow feels right, so I leave off my Vince Guaraldi Trio favorites for now.

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.
