Welcome to my website! The website contains information about books of poetry and academic nonfiction. I begin each day with some notes that usually take a poetic form. From these “Morning Thoughts,” I start my days. The blogs are a more formalized version of these morning thoughts that will form the basis of my larger projects.

I’ve organized these morning thoughts into three categories or blogs. One is called the Bavarian Hat, about a hat from my childhood. It is filled with colorful and captivating pins. Each pin represents a place we visited. I was pretty young, but the memories come to life from looking at this hat. In the blog, I have started highlighting different pins, each one representing a different memory.

The second blog is about the Importance of Imagination, which includes poetry I have written or am in the process of writing. The third blog is called Morning Thoughts. This one consists of those ideas that pop into my head in a more random way. These morning thoughts often spark a new poem, reflect on a puzzling situation, or become changes to something I’m working on. A number also pertain to my grandfather’s farm, a treasured space from my childhood.

Watch for new additions to this site. Watch for news about the pesky cat, Percy! Shortly, I will update and activate the events button! I have an upcoming library visit in Houston with a draft of a new book and other literary activities coming up soon. Enjoy and watch for updates!

What's New

Welcome to this new website! In addition to the poetry and nonfiction books I have written in the past, I am adding blogs on three topics:  The Bavarian Hat.  This blog chronicles a hat my sisters and I each wore as children, with a pin for the many places we visited when we lived in France.  The second topic is called Morning Thoughts about all kinds of things, ideas, questions, challenges, and more that pop into my head when I wake up!  The third blog topic is the Importance of Imagination.  This blog is made up of poems I have written or am writing now.    Please enjoy!

Projects
