I’m a happy member of PNWA, an organization that supports writers as they pursue their publishing goals. I was a finalist in the PNWA literary contest twice! Once in the picture book and young adult categories. My first YA novel, The Incident will be released on January 5, 2022.
Poetry
I am an award winning poet with many poems published in such literary journals and online zines as Poetry Motel, Anderbo, and Perigee.
Quilcene, my first book of poems, was published by Finishing Line Press.
Works in Progress
Underground–A journey through time where Sam learns the terrifying truth about her family and her place within it.
Making of a Warrior–A journey from slavery to warrior for a young Viking who needs to prove to his father that he is as capable of leading men as his dead brother was.
A series of Viking age stories that show young men and women as they learn how to survive in the world of warriors.
Miscellaneous Stuff
I review books for Chanticleer Book Reviews in Bellingham, Washington, and I love to travel. I have visited eleven countries but only one planet. In Norway, Sweden, and Denmark I explored heritage and truly loved the fjords! They were breathtaking and steep mountains rising from the waters edge will definitely make it into my Viking novels.
