Hey everyone!
I am excited to announce that my new nonfiction book has finally published and is available for purchase on Amazon.
Happy 2022, everyone!
With the beginning of a new chapter, we all get to reflect, reimagine, and reboot. I have spent the last year focusing on finishing my first nonfiction book and it’s finally ready to go to press!
The book, “SHIFT: A New Paradigm for Women in the Workplace – Stories and Strategies,” will be published at the end of this month and available for purchase on February 1. I’ll keep you posted on details as well as make a few excerpts available on my website soon.
Beginning with my own story, the book includes stories from women of all ages and experience while intermingling historical references and future visions from dynamic individuals and organizations working to improve conditions for women in the workplace.
My hope with this book is to bring fresh inspiration and ideas on how to improve a stagnant model in dire need of change. I’m excited to see this project through to fruition as the seedlings were sown in 2018. Phew!
As I look ahead, I will be returning to writing short stories for Medium.com while organizing them all into thematic collections to publish in book form. Stay tuned for those developments!
I hope 2022 will inspire creativity and excitement in whatever new endeavors you are imagining. May we all enjoy comfort and camaraderie. May we rest easy and feel confident in matters of health and well-being in the days to come and year ahead. Cheers!
Here we are in the dog days of summer already. I hope this note finds you all well and enjoying the season. As we slowly adjust to a new rhythm, I am feeling hopeful and more at ease, though life remains unpredictable, changeable and full of surprises.
One such good surprise for me this month, is the recent signing of a book contract for my nonfiction work-in-progress, SHIFT: Stories and Strategies for a New Paradigm. Golden Dragonfly Press, based in Amherst, MA, will be publishing the book, set for release in late Fall 2021 or Winter 2022. Stay tuned for updates on when and where to purchase the book. For a sneak peek, visit my synopsis page which includes two brief excerpts from the book.

Other stories outside the realm of Medium.com will continue to be accessible here on my website, as I continue to put together several interconnected collections of short stories. I hope to publish these collections consecutively in 2022-2023.

In January 2021, I was added as Top Fiction Writer for Medium.com and many of my latest stories can also be found there.

Stay tuned for new articles as well. I’m currently working on a piece with Bay Area denizen Andrew Miguel Fuller who spent the last year at McMurdo Station, a science and research station in Antarctica. Fuller and I compare notes on the particular brand of extreme isolation he experienced vis-à-vis the rest of the world, as the quickly escalating, global pandemic unfolded. It’s quite interesting!
