My books include the full-length collection The Open Hand of Sky (Finishing Line 2022) and the chapbook Predictable as Fire (Moonstone 2021), both available at our local Auntie's and on Amazon. The trees and parks and seasons in Spokane continually inspire me. I make my home with my husband Alexander and teach creative writing, technical writing, composition, and literature at Spokane Falls Community College. Spokane's vibrant artists and writers communities sustain and encourage us creatives. Plus there's great hiking, kayaking, camping all around us -- what a perfect mix!
