To see it is to feel it
I started life like a lot of kids do. Born to a teenage parent, apartment in the ghetto, etc. We moved a lot, and one consistent thing that stayed with me was my love of reading. Anything and everything I could get my hands on. It wasn’t only that books…

Water skiing naked.
The big news comes first: they’ve accepted it. It’s not a dream. You’re going to be a published author. Lots of people have supported you to that moment. You’ve talked with other writers, commiserated over copious amounts of coffee and far too many slices of cake. Your friends told you…

Highlights from the Diva Fest
Phew. The Diva Literary Festival was this past weekend, and now I’m back home, sunk deep in a bubble bath, and contemplating the event. Loads and loads of things are running through my head. I’ll get to them piece by piece. For now, a few random highlights: I was on…
