My novel, currently titled “Her Last Cookbook,” now resides with the editors at High Frequency Press. Once they’ve done an editing job on it, I’ll have another round of revision. It’s a slow process but one I find endlessly engaging!
My past writing includes scholarly work, fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry. Currently I’m working on a new chapbook of poetry–25-30 poems focused on tai chi, movement forms, our adaptibility and our resistence to change.
