Had a fun day researching bees at an Atlas Obscura event held at the Elysian Community Garden. It’s exciting to make things up then do field work and discover those ideas could actually work in real life. Score! And eating fresh honey? What a delicious writing perk.

This vending machine in the Sip and Sonder coffee shop in Inglewood (near Los Angeles) spits out free short stories for you to read. Well-written ones too. It’s like winning the lotto only with less money and begging relatives.

I’m running for Secretary of the Women’s Fiction Writers Association. We have a margarita fountain at our yearly retreat, so, of course.

My debut novel Adventures of a Maybe Human will be published by Black Rose Writing. Look for its launch on April 16, 2026. Details to follow. Party time!

Glee! I was elected to the 2018 Board of Directors for the Women’s Fiction Writers Association. Not only do we support writers, we have a margarita fountain at our retreat.
