My Work & Other Public Displays

I mean BOOK, as a verb. I'm a terrific PODCAST guest or CONFERENCE or BOOK CLUB SPEAKER. Here's my PITCH VIDEO.

My Work & Other Public Displays

I WRITE...


  • To figure out how the world works.
  • To find reasons for my existence.
  • To see how far imagination will carry me.


I wrote my first short story in second grade. Ever since, writing is the activity that brings me the most comfort, joy, and agony--often all at once.

I WRITE...


  • To figure out how the world works.
  • To find reasons for my existence.
  • To see how far imagination will carry me.


I wrote my first short story in second grade. Ever since, writing is the activity that brings me the most comfort, joy, and agony--often all at once.


I've done many "writerly" things over the years: journalism, speechwriting, communications. Won some awards along the way. (Woo-hoo!)


As I enter my years of wisdom (read: growing older), I am doubling down on taking creative risks and sharing creative journeys with like-minded souls around the world.


You can sample my work on this website. For a deeper dive:


  •  Browse my podcast portfolio (partial) here.
  • Follow my Substack newsletter, DOUBT MONSTER
  • read my eclectic essays on Medium.
  • Tune into a conversation on creativity and risk-taking with life coach Stacey Andon. 
  • Making a mid-life pivot? My conversation with Claire Waite Brown, here, will inspire you.
  • Get a taste of my teaching life through this conversation with bestselling author Alessandra Torre  on revealing character through dialogue.

What the Heck am I Doing on TikTok?

No dancing! No cosplaying! No food pix! Just semi-dignified content, including writing tips for authors and my new series, #writergetsreal. You can follow my TikTok without wincing. (Note: I'm not creating new content on this channel, but there's plenty to choose from.)

What the Heck am I Doing on TikTok?

I have lived in Baltimore, Maryland for over 30 years and it is now my beloved home. Baltimore is a fantastic city in which to live, work, and play. I try to give back by directly supporting local artists, nonprofit cultural organizations, and artistic youths by delivering workshops and as a judge for arts-related programs and contests.
