I'm a writer of novels, short stories, essays, magazine articles, and poetry. Most of my writing is in the realm of speculative fiction--fantasy, science fiction, and subgenres therein. Since technology hasn't created a way for me to beam fresh baked goods around the internet (yet), I invite you to instead browse my published material online in the bibliography.
The Catch A Star As It Falls Blog is updated several times a week with publication news, status reports, and somewhat-incoherent ramblings (note: coherency dependent on caffeination and sleep levels).
If you're curious about who I am, head over to the biography section. That's also where you find out how to contact me. Contrary to popular belief, I do not want to buy any pills to enlarge anatomy I don't even have. But if you want to discuss writing-related stuff, please email me or comment on my blog.
To summarize my background: I'm a girl from Hanford, California (and no, that's not near L.A. or San Francisco) who married a Navy sailor and moved from coastline to coastline. Now that sailor is a happy civilian, and we're settled down in scalding-hot Arizona. Our son is number-obessed and our two cats are insane. I bake. I write. I dance, badly.
The Perspectives Anthology: Poetry Concerning Autism and other Disabilities has been released and is available for purchase on Lulu. It should be available on Amazon in 6-8 weeks. I have two autobiographcal poems in this book.
Forthcoming publications
The website for Mountain Magic: Spellbinding Tales of Appalachia is live! This anthology from Woodland Press features my story, "A Recipe for Rain and Rainbows" along with twelve other stories and poems, plus a foreword by author Lucy A. Snyder.
My fiction will also be published at Daily Science Fiction, and a poem has been accepted for Star*Line. More information will be posted soon!
Other relevant stuff
Work continues on my novel, Normal. It's rather like the movie Groundhog Day, except I wake up every day and edit, edit, edit, and the next day it starts over again, but I actually like what I'm doing. Most of the time.
