This mid-century setting speaks to me–starkly inviting in its emptiness.  Waiting for company–yours. Waiting for something to be said.

I live and write in Ocean Beach, the best little beach town in San Diego, California. I’m writing fiction and personal essays, but have been known to dabble in poetry and journalism.

When I’m not writing, I can be found in the garden and hanging out with family, friends (furry too), and my writing buddies.

I still love teaching, and for now my focus is creative writing and literature from a Peace Studies perspective.
