It’s World Mental Health Day, thank god. Give me a moment, I’m breathing. Mental health is mostly about cats...mostly… Pretty cats, feral cats, tabbies, and Garfield all help me get through life. But for me prioritizing what is important to me and following through with it is top, peak happy. Goals.

Heartfelt Release Day Book Plea: Candid About Space is a tumultuous trip with two moms and two daughters. I hope you enjoy this thriller of a ride. There’s some dead bodies sprinkled throughout and plenty of second act being bad and family strife. geni.us/candidabouts...

GCLS is almost here!
I'm excited to see friends I've met in my writing journey, new faces, and engage with as many people as I can. I've got a busy schedule but if you want to connect, please do.
Also find me up at 5 a.m. roaming around lobbies and towns looking for half decent coffee.

I’m super excited to moderate the “Why am I Rooting for the Villain?” panel at the 2025 Albany GCLS Conference in July. I present to you for your consideration my villain mood board - the movie version. What villains did I miss? Who’s going to the conference in July?
