Overview
Looking back over many years of writing, I see catalyzing personal events prompt my writing projects again and again. The publisher who visited me and sighed, “I need a vacation.” I said, “And what we’re looking for instead is a life that does not require that you vacate it.” He perked right up, and said he’d publish that book. →God’s Dictionary.
Finishing a book on how to apply the principles of peace to emotional upset, then the inner prompt, “So, you gonna write my story now?” →The Mex Mysteries.
Having been through a really rough divorce and two cross-country moves, I was down deep in the dumps when my oldest friend said, “I double dare you to write a lesbian romance novel.” I laughed. “Is there such a thing?” She told me to check on Amazon. →Boots & Boas.
My latest series surprised me in its genesis. The pandemic sent me spinning into the world of Gilded Age New York, and four sisters--who seed change, passion, healing, and power wherever they go. The Subversive Lovelies are historical fiction with a speculative twist. →Subversive Lovelies.
Being invited to write for Huffington Post, writing for Ode Magazine, blogging for website Cause You’re Beautiful for women learning their own worth, and my own ongoing essay-writing at the intersection of culture and spirituality, I see now every single thing I write is prompted by the events in my world. I am so very grateful to be a part of it.
My latest socio-cultural pennings have taken the form of The Ampersand Gazette--a metaphysical take on the world. →Current Ampersand Gazette.

Seeds was inspired by the metaphysician Emmet Fox. For 25 years I sent a weekly inspirational gift to subscribers — a quickie to open a door to deeper spiritual thought, word, and deed. →The NEW Seeds project.
