They/them
Like sorry Mel and Oprah - It's pretty hard for me to forgive my parents when they recently caused great harm to me and not only won't apologize to me but have demanded I apologize to them

And writing from the place of pain, fear, raw emotion has brought me to a new genre: horror.

The archetypes and tropes of horror allow me to test myself in the essence of my protagonists again and again until I know beyond a doubt that it is true:

We can all grow in the dark.

During this, heartbreak came into my life. I experienced a bewildering rejection from a branch of my family, and I took up my keyboard with a new conviction that it is with stories that we release our glowing tendrils in the dark, yearning for sunlight we have yet to see or feel on our broad leaves.

This fall, I moved into a new house, my husband made old routines new again, my kids both started at new schools, and I started at two new jobs.

Like most worthwhile things, it all started with a little seed buried in the dark deciding to start unfurling even though they didn't feel ready. Lush green leaves are for sunlight and summer breezes; but they start in the dirt and the fear.
