I'm a kitty whisperer/beach walker, who likes to wave at strangers and writes about random moments. I love poetry, esp Hopkins. I write non-fiction, my latest book "Aging Angry: Making Peace with Rage" is available with OUP. American-Kiwi, She/Her
Yesterday's not-my-president protest was energetic if a tad disorganized. Lots of clever signs. We even had a small counterprotest: trumpsters in trucks circled the capitol.

Aging Angry didn't win the book award, but the reviewers doled out some fun comments:
"a surprisingly uplifting read."
"It provokes thought without offering easy answers."
"a compelling read."
If ya gotta lose it's nice to have a little praise in the mix!

Done and dusted! Radio Lost & Found, a novel I started in 2019 is done! It lives in this pretty notebook. Set against the backdrop of 1970s small-town California, the book weaves together the stories of two women grappling with traumatic loss. Beta read anyone?

Good News: The Salt Lake City School board unanimously reaffirmed its commitment to equal treatment of all students regardless of immigration status. It's consistent with current federal law (1982 Plyler v Doe) but we've seen what SCOTUS can do.
