About Me

I often misuse office supplies.
You can see what I mean here

I also play guitar and sing in an indie rock band called MAKAR with my husband.

I appreciate any and all constructive criticism on my work. Although I may not always take your advice.

I have been submitting a truckload of work like mad, inspired by the machine that is David Erlewine.

Here is where I'm at since starting to submit works back in March 2009 --

Forthcoming Works
I also have poetry forthcoming in the following journals:

The Shout

Why do you write?

I write so I don't disappear.

I write so other people don't disappear, people who were important to me, who don't even know they were important and still reverberate in my memory. I just have to remember it all even if what I have captured isn't entirely recognizable.

This is perhaps a bit simplistic but my compulsion is finally making sense to me.

Almost everything and anything inspires me.

Any favorite authors? Books?

yeah, yeah, yeah - I'll get to this but I'm too busy reading
