I've been reconnecting to nature and therefore myself, finding out who I am in the aftermath of an ended relationship as I transition to new levels of creativity, listening to the music inside me and singing many new songs, and some old ones (with higher notes), as I embark on a new writing project that is actually not new at all but definitely is expanded, welcoming positivity, recognizing

Sometimes I forget that we are all connected.  We're like a big Lego set, striving to be put together to look like the picture on the box, only some of the pieces are hiding under the bed, others get stepped on in the hallway at midnight, and a few are lost in boxes belonging to other toys.  We all have the basic set of emotions, we all struggle to overcome obstacles, and none of us (or very few

I was proud to be an initial reviewer for SNHU's Fall Fiction Short Story Competition, and I'm very glad to see that one of the stories I recommended was chosen by the final panel as the big winner! SNHU's Fall Fiction Short Story Competition

Happy New Year!  2015 has been a year of many changes for me, and 2016 promises new experiences, so let them all be positive.  I'm especially looking forward to the release of Squirrel Superhighway, or It's Good to be a Dog.  I wish everyone out there a year filled with all that makes you happy!

Hello!  I just wanted to pop on here to wish a happy holiday season to whomever may wander onto this page and to give a squirrelly update.  I am informed of the good news that the illustrations are almost complete, and I am hoping for even better news that they are all the way complete soon!   In the meantime, more manuscripts are in the process of development, and both Green Gooey Goop and

This week has been a week of firsts--first Petco trip without buying anything for King, first time I tried to diaper a dog (Possum) (this is more difficult than you might think), first time I tried to scoop pomegranate seeds out of a pomegranate (also more difficult than you might think), and now it's the first birthday since King departed.   While the Petco trip had me in tears, and the loose

So, I sat down to log in to an early-morning webinar today (8 a.m. on a Saturday--ugh!), sipping my Trader Joe's pumpkin spice chai latte, remembering when I would take the dogs for daily walks in the cool October air and shop at TJ's weekly just because I could because we lived near one finally. I was crying, of course, because that's what people do when their dogs die. I remembered so much joy

King (2004 - 2015) King is the one closest to the birdbath in this picture.   King lost his extended battle with cancer Thursday, October 1, 2015.   He will always be remembered as a constant source of joy and unconditional love. I love you, King.

For a few moments too many, I felt very small in comparison to my colleagues and fellow classmates, and I believed I should be doing "something important" like writing more books or a song or solving homelessness or..."something important." Then I realized I'm raising a child. There is nothing more important than this endeavor. There are things I can "also" do, but nothing will ever

Hello, everyone!  I apologize for my long absence.  First, it was the summer term, and now it is the fall term, with even more classes to prepare and teach--which I love to do!  One of my favorite classes to teach is transfer-level English Composition at a local community college.  The main textbook that I like to use has a new edition out, and many of the articles that I have used in the past

I've been back at the page again recently, revising my manuscript for Squirrel Superhighway, which is in the process of being illustrated.  This newest children's picture book is my personal tribute to the lovely forest community of Lytle Creek, California, where I owned a small house that I lived in for two periods of five years each.  My son and I share several fond memories of this location,

When we don't feel well, it doesn't matter what age we are; our bodies, minds, and souls need attention.  My poor kid, who is a teenager, felt beyond awful this past week, and he still doesn't feel well today.  He had a high fever that went up and down for four days, and he couldn't be far from the bathroom.  He didn't want to eat, and forcing him to drink water took a lot of energy. We all
