Tuesday, August 11, 2015. How does this much time pass? So, I looked at the date of my last blog post and realized that- yet again- I have slacked on the blog. So, yes, I have been busy. what have I been reading? The Sun Also Rises.

All my writerly info is gathered here - bio, my occasional blog, links to some published work, teaching, and upcoming events.
