My motivation? Change in all its forms and permutations, and the driving need to get my words and ideas out of my head and down on paper.

My non-fiction provides encouragement and rut-busting advice to those facing change (or those who need to make a change!) while my fiction explores the way change affects us and how we react to it—from those who successfully navigate those sometimes rocky waters to those who get caught in the whirlpool to never surface again.

So many non-fiction authors have influenced me—Susan Jeffers, Dianne Schwartz and Judith Sills, to name just a few. As for fiction “mentors,” Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, Shirley Jackson and Mark Helprin share top place billing.

Upcoming events include workshops at the Willamette Writers Conference (OR), the Skyline Conference (OH) and the Susquehanna Conference (PA) as well as seminars at Hillsborough Community College (FL)and Kent State University (OH).
