The Lincoln Moon is my first novel, and I’m currently working on my next one, The Stars are Fire. You can read more about that on my blog page!

My husband and have lived DTLB (Downtown Long Beach, California) since 2018. We were joined in 2020 by Linus, a Bichon Frisé rescue pup.

I studied theater and television & radio writing under the tutelage of Professor Virginia Harris at The University of Minnesota. Since those days, I’ve been a copywriter, a celebrity journalist (interviewing folks like Carol Burnett, Steve Allen, Fannie Flagg, MGM screenwriter-novelist Anita Loos, and more). I have written a dozen plays for family audiences that have been performed at The Kennedy Center, The Coterie Theatre in Kansas City, Birmingham Children Theatre, Prime Stage Theatre in Pittsburgh, and Spokane Children’s Theatre. I wrote briefly for Walt Disney Television Animation, but writing dialogue for chipmunks wasn’t as gratifying as it sounds! I finally learned just to write for the sheer joy it brings me. It took too long to learn that.

My hobbies include all things Shakespeare, theater, reading, musical concerts, my dog, pilates, and my family and friends. I hope you’ll follow me as I write my next novel, The Stars are Fire.
