A Dedication Explained

Many of my "Poppy" readers have asked about why I've dedicated my novel to a man named Chris. This podcast explains it for the very first time. My thanks to Lizbeth Meredith for giving me the time, the space, and the empathy.

Night At The Museum

Night at the museum ~ The Denver Art Museum is honoring our family with “Weaving a Foundation: Cornerstones of the Textile Arts Collection.” The exhibit celebrates the legacy and forward thinking philosophy of collecting that was established by my grandfather, Eric Douglas, first curator of the museum’s Native Arts Department. He is the focus of my book “Poppy: A Novel About A Colorful Colorado Life.” http://bit.ly/3FXa1Zd I’m proud to say his influence continues to inform Denver Art Museum practices today. Two thirds of the objects now on view in the exhibit have never been shown. We are indebted to all the staff who put this together, but especially to Jill D’Alessandro, Director and Curator of the Avenue Institute of Textile Arts and Fashion. Come see it!

A Heartfelt Thank You

I am humbled by the way so many of you have embraced "Poppy." I truly appreciate the opportunities I've had to talk about my novel at The Hiwan Heritage Park in Evergreen, various Colorado book clubs and to individuals who've enjoyed learning about the life and legacy of Eric Douglas. My most recent appearance was at the Local Authors Showcase at The Parker Public Library. It was great seeing everyone!
