“The best work that anybody ever writes is the work that is on the verge of embarrassing him, always.”
― Arthur Miller

My stories hope to shed light on the power and courage of women, demonstrating the greatness that society and even ourselves can reduce. I appreciate self-aware characters who make choices based on what they want and not out of need. Layered and truthful, I strive to create thought-provoking scenarios and people you'll admire or despise. A romantic at heart, an honest happy ending is my favorite way to close.

I bear to you my imagination in black and white.

Looking Up - Grandma and the Butterfly

Today my grandmother visited me. She’s been gone for many years and we haven’t spoken but once since she passed. When I was a little girl, we stayed with my grandparents for a while after moving across country. I loved being at their house. Everything about life there felt welcome. One morning, Grandma called me outside to the porch. She pointed toward the brick red painted ceiling and showed m... Read more of this blog post »
