A Woman on the Verge…
I spent a week in Whittier--my hometown. That's a good deal of time to revisit one's ghosts. It was fraught with hanging out with my beloved grandmother who has taken to throwing out heirlooms and photographs. So it was great to take a little time out on Saturday and hang out with other bloggers at …
A little International Women’s Day poem…
I read this poem I wrote at a rally today:
The Wearing of the Red (on International Women’s Day)
I am the color of …
Anger…of red in the face blush and shame
Of things perpetrated against us that we still cannot name
I am the color of…
Passion…of my own satisfaction…of a longing and desire so deep
that only I have the power to fill and execute the dreams of my sleep

Last night I had the pleasure of doing a reading of three short stories at Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont. The audience of mostly students were amazingly attentive and after the reading came up and asked great questions, talked about their own struggles with writing, and told me about how the details of …
My pal...the director, Heidi Moore of Wretched Productions just came out with this documentary. I'm loving Tucker Noir.

I'll be working with Heidi on her next project the sequel to the critically acclaimed …

Anyone in the Bay Area want to come to a reading? I'll be there.
Before the world got derailed by fascism, 2017, for me was gonna be --not about change so much as pushing myself to the finish line. Pushing self out of the proverbial comfort zone. Inside me I know there's a woman who gets an offer for her well-researched and well-written non-fiction book. There's a woman whose …
It's been a long time since I've visited New York. Since Uncle Frank and Uncle Don picked us up at La Guardia stopping at a favorite place on the way home to eat before whisking up weary Californians to Pelham Manor and aunt Dorothy with the perfectly manicured and finicky everything was there to greet …
Friday night my kids and I made the three hour trek to Davis to hang with a good friend and her kids. These kids were in play groups together back in the day and even though Carol moved away to Davis, we still keep in touch and get them together. Another friend from my early Greenville days …
