I am a voracious reader.
This site is always a work in progress.

May
The first in a series of poems due to appear in a new-to-me online magazine, Amethyst Review (poem linked on the left). (Yes, I finally started sending some poems out again after a long hiatus.)
January
A new poem (linked on the left) out in Polar Starlight.
2022 overview
- 10 poems published
- completed the first draft of my fourth novel in the Carterhaugh series (all four are awaiting final edits and will probably launch in early 2024)
December
A new poem (linked on the left) out in Mad Swirl and another in Polar Starlight.
September
Three new poems (linked on the left) out in The Thieving Magpie.
August
Another new poem (linked on the left) and yet another out (in print only) in Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet
July
Another new poem out (linked on the left)
Had another fine Clarion West Write-a-thon, with six new poems (one a week), and good progress on The Honey Queen (my novel-in-progress).
June
New poem out (linked on the left)
I am also participating in the Clarion West Write-a-thon this summer from June 19 – July 13. My goal is the first draft of a poem a week (which sponsors will receive) and a stretch goal to finish the first draft of my novel in progress (the not-a-novella mentioned below). This is in support of the writers workshop I attended in 1996 and helped run from 2001 – 2019.
April
New poem out (linked on the left)
March
In the larger world 2022 has already brought more than a year's worth of bad, sad news. In the small my-life world a poem or two is/are getting published. I discovered the novella I was writing is actually a novel, meaning it's not finished yet, meaning I'm not going to get the three novellas written by June that I had been planning once upon an optimistic time.
Note that I got utterly stalled out on sending out my 2021 end-of-year missive when I got a flu. I still plan to send them and have bonus poems for late recipients.
My most recent book-length publication is still The Walk She Takes (2019).
See my books page for more info.
