Writer-Poet. Colorado roots, desert light, and stories that linger. Recent poetry collection: Her Inconvenient Elegy: A Life in Fragments. Also writes as Kiva Wolfe—Red Flash and upcoming sequel, Tears of Iemanja, with a new mystery series in the works.

My villain’s epitaph—
He gifted my hero a reason to rise.

The re‑release of my suspense-adventure novel "Red Flash" is entering national distribution through multiple wholesale and retail channels — now easily orderable for bookstores across the country.
A quiet milestone. Grateful for this moment.

We don’t write for fame or fortune.
We write for the beauty of words, the love of characters, and the resonance of story.

You don’t need to be a little crazy to write—just self-possessed enough to do it.

Writing is how memory moves through the body—mind to hand, past to page.

Within every writer lies an elephant’s graveyard of character deaths. The elephant invariably returns to mourn not just their loss, but the end of the story.

Write! Your characters' lives depend on it.
(Seriously. They’re pacing the plotline and whispering about mutiny.)
