Past events:
Poetry at Pride!
For the first time, a performance of mine at Pride was words! (After decades of musical appearances at Pride festivals). I had a blast doing a 10 min set on Lit stage with Poets Underground on Sunday, July 16 at San Diego Pride! Love is love!!!
VAMP – November 2022 and April 2023
April of 2023 found me performing an uncharacteristically funny memoir piece, “Bad Bear” during SSWA’s “Plant Based” VAMP showcase. Watch it here and learn what to do and not do while camping.
In November 2022, I performed my memoir piece “Discord” on the stage during SSWA’s Vamp Showcase “The Hunt.” Click here to watch.

VAMP – May 2021 – Bamboozled.
I was fortunate to have another story telling opportunity even in Covid. If you missed the performance, you can check it out through the link above. I’m at just past the 14 minute mark – but it was a great show so watch it all if you can.
Viral Poetry series, featured poet – May 5, 2021
Charming host, Adam Greenfield, hosted this online event of poetry, featuring me and another poet, Amber Robinson. A fun event, in which he kicks it off with a little bit of chat, hands over the performance space, and then follows up with some Q&A banter. Click the link to watch me read 6 pieces of poetry. (I’m at the 9 min 10 sec mark).
Hear Her Roar, Even Louder – March 2021
I was thrilled to be invited to perform with this wonderful group of amazingly talented female artists and performers once again. Click the link if you want to check it out! Original footage of my story is on my storytelling page, but there’s fun chat and commentary, as well as other performances, on the whole feed. (I’m at just past the 45 min mark.)
News!
Yoga – yes that’s right, yoga! In 2013, I began the long process of working towards certification as an Iyengar Yoga instructor. In October of 2022, I finally went up for assessment after a very major hiccup in 2019 in the form of breast cancer…. and I passed! I’m thrilled and finding so much joy teaching.
Writing, writing, writing…. and …. publications!
My latest celebration … it never gets old!… my memoir piece, “Discord,” is being published by TRANSFORMATION: A Women Who Submit Anthology! Check back for news on how to get a copy! I know I can’t wait for mine!!!
This was my first fiction publication, in Bards & Sages Quarterly. (Available in print and digital media):
And there was my first memoir publication, a story in the anthology, “The Whole Alphabet.”
Check the publications page for information on my various publications!!! (Trust me, I beamed with each of them.)
Books! – yes… Books!! I am currently querying agents for my first novel, a speculative fiction book titled “The After.”
Meanwhile, I’ve started writing my second book, tentatively titled, “The Taken.”
And…. I’m making the leap. I’m starting the process of a poetry book. Watch here for updates, or sign my email list to be the first in the know!
Mud, mud, mud…. Check out my pottery page! If I’m not behind my laptop on on the yoga mat, I’m most likely throwing…. pottery. It’s fun and meditative, and I end up with art to decorate my home and cool things to eat and drink from, as well as give my friends. I welcome commissions — I would love to make you something! Hit me up!!
