Author of the novel Two Over Easy All Day Long (Golden Antelope Press 2024), and The UnFairy Tales - for middle grade readers, my short stories have appeared in Adelaide Literary Magazine, Evening Street Review, Cape Magazine, Antithesis, and other literary journals. I have been, in no particular order, a toddler wrangler, a lawyer, and an advocate for the houseless, immigrants, and the earth. Also, I am extraordinarily fond of chocolate, dogs, and the Salish Sea. It is my ardent belief that good writing can provide a much-needed escape, a chance for a cathartic cry or a healing belly laugh. Just as importantly, in these divided and divisive times, I believe stories can build bridges, as we see through another’s eyes, and feel through the beating of another’s heart.
