Oh, hey! You came to find me but today I’m on Dialogue: Between the Lines with Susan Wingate talking about writing flawed (and even unlikable at times) characters like Ann Josephson in Community Klepto.
Leave a CommentOh, hey! You came to find me but today I’m over on Women Writers, Women’s Books talking about the process and craft of writing comedy.

Oh hey, you came to find me but I’m not here because I’m over at the AUSTIN FUCKING CHRONICLE! I’m floored, over the moon, verklempt – all the emotions! – at this incredible review they did for Community Klepto; it’s almost as funny as the book itself.
Check it out here and see how awesome it is for yourself!
Leave a CommentOh hey! You came to see my but I’m over on Vox Vomitus where I just did a super fun interview with the ladies about Community Klepto. We drank, we chatted, we lifted wimpy dumbbells. It was a good time.

Leave a CommentHowdy! You came to find me but I am over with the kind folks at Lone Star Literary Life, where they have been kind enough to write up a great review of Community Klepto, which comes out in less than 3 weeks!
Leave a CommentI’ve just confirmed that I’ll be adding two more in-person events for Community Klepto on top of my book launch party at BookWoman in Austin, TX!
On Thursday, July 14 (Happy Bastille Day), I’ll be doing a reading, Q&A and book signing at Flagship Books in Kansas City, KS, my old stomping grounds and the part of the city where I got lost the most often.
On Sunday, July 17, I’ll be doing a reading, Q&A and book signing at Barnes & Noble in Springfield, MO, my old college town. I used to hang out here all the time in high school with the people I classified as the cool kids… because they were my kids. And we weren’t old enough to drink yet.
More details to come!
Leave a CommentLast year I did something I hadn’t done in a long time – I wrote a new poem and also got it published in a literary journal.
The publisher, Alien Buddha Press, liked it so much that they decided to put it in their best of 2021 compilation edition, available on Amazon now.
Here’s to more poems, stories, and books getting published in 2022!
Leave a CommentThis essay was jostling around in my mind long before Moms Don’t Have Time to Write put out a call for submissions about holiday topics, but I was hesitant to even give voice to the negative feelings I was having. More than anything, I was scared to submit the essay because I was worried how it would be received by my family.
However, as a writer, I’ve found that whenever I find myself writing something that scares me, that’s actually the place where the gold is. The minute I start self-editing is the minute I stop being authentic, which is a disservice for me and my readers. Needless to say, after much hand-wringing I submitted the essay for consideration. This week, they surprised me by publishing it!
Check out my published essay here.
