2021-2024*

What a crazy few years it has been as we tip-toe through the new normal. Although, I took a break from touring/reading and even updating my website due to a need to social distance and recharge my batteries, I spent many hours absorbed in the work of other writers as well as focused on other creative pursuits. You might want to check out my recent reviews by following me on Goodreads. 

I was nervous but also so thrilled to finally participate in my first in-person readings since the pandemic restrictions were announced in 2020 and eventually lifted. The literary journey continues. See additional details below:
