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...

Candid About Space will release 9/13/2025. That’s this Friday! Be so kind. Thank you. geni.us/candidabouts...

Two angsty sapphics go on a road trip with their moms. It’s a crime/thriller.

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?

If anybody heard me mumbling about fanny pack harnesses last weekend at Pride. This is what I meant.

Baby got her first Leica! And what do you do with a Sofort 2 Instant camera? Why, take photos of you making out in front of national monuments during DC Pride! Cheers!

Just early enough to see the sunrise, beautiful clouds to boot; second time is a charm. See you later beach 🏖️ See you later sunrise. Leaving a bit later when the sun is much higher above the sky.
