I don’t know that I can pinpoint an exact catalyst for becoming a writer. It seems that I’ve been creating and telling stories my whole life. I do know that the idea that I could write actual books with my name on the covers came in my teens. It didn’t start with books, obviously. First
We are getting close to time to begin editing the short stories for the Sirens benefit anthology. This is a book that comes from people who have attended a Sirens Conference, and who want to help support the work that the conference does, help provide scholarships to the event and otherwise support women in speculative
I have rededicated my efforts to build on my Patreon, and decided that a good way to kick that off is a special offer. For the next 30 days, through 4/16, all new patrons, and anyone increasing their tier, will get a personalized, hand written postcard from my stash of postcards, some of which date

This is my busy time of year. I have a full time job, of course. I am working on writing one book, editing another and have several editing jobs on the horizon. And, I work as the Community Partners Donations Team Manager for the San Francisco Pride festival. Pride is just about two months away,
