My story was published in Water~Stone Review volume 19. It was an incredible experience. Mary Francois Rockcastle gave me the best edits and writing advice ever. My story, Orange Crush, is now a novel. I pray Hamline continues to support this beautiful literary magazine and all the talented staff.

“She be little, but she be fierce.” Support the arts.

Minnehaha Creek continues to flow. A steady current strong enough to break through the ice and melt the snow. If only we could gather together in one steady, strong current, an unstoppable force. #keepmovingyourfeet

A beautiful book to look forward to reading this fall. #mothers #bookclubs #goodreads

American men and women once fought against evil men like Hitler. They once defended Democracy and gave their lives to protect this country from men like Putin and Trump and Musk.

Did I mention how much I love Minnesotans?

Love Minnesota. I really do. Cold and ice and snow and all of it.
