I write life.

As I see it, within me and around me. As I imagine it. As it was. What if it were?

Life, it turns out, is a mishmash. And since I like to experience it all, so is my writing.

Stories I see. Stories I imagine. Stories untold and ignored.

A farrago of stories.

Fiction. Nonfiction. Poetry. Fiction-ish: that nebulous, unincorporated territory between the two, starting in fact and meandering into imagination.

Here, you can find the bits and pieces of what I love to add to my writing farrago, and read samples as they become public in links below, on my blog, or upon request.

I am seeking representation and formal homes for my little writinglings.

For Kids

Fiction for Kids. Chapter and middle grade books, particularly magical realism.

Nonfiction for Kids. I love to share the stories of people ignored by history, particularly when ordinary actions lead to extraordinary results.

For the Moderately Aged

Nonfiction Programmatic Writing. While these writings are largely protected under nondisclosure agreements for nonprofit development organizations, select writings may be available upon request. I have extensive experience in developing and designing grant applications, grant and general program reports, budget justifications, and non-technical, engaging program narratives.

Nonfiction Memoir/Reflection.

Fiction. My happy place here is writing flash fiction and magical realism.
