Author of Resting Places

One woman’s journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening

After receiving the devastating news of her son’s death, Elizabeth ekes out a lonely and strained relationship with her husband, Zach.

I saw a number of "roadside memorials," those crosses on the side of the road put up in memory of someone who was killed at that spot. I began stopping at memorials all over the country and seeing what people had left and what they'd written on each cross. Each resting places told an entire story, both about the deceased and about the loved ones left behind. With this in mind, I wrote the story of Elizabeth, a woman who loses her son in a car accident in New Mexico and decides to go on a cross-country journey to the site of his death. During the trip she undergoes a vast spiritual and psychological awakening.(less)

There have been many times when I don't write well or have difficulty putting words on the page, or what I've written doesn't go where I want it to. But simply sitting down in the chair and looking at a place screen or page forces me to think and then to write.(less)

Writing About Race in America

With this year's presidential race, much is being said and argued and bantered about concerning another race: that is, race as cultural and ethnic distinction. As a writer who has written extensively about race (in my novel Soul Catcher), I often cringe at our candidates' discussion (or lack thereof) of the subject of race in America.
