some may think I'm just a fool tilting at windmills, but maybe I'm not
for some fun summer reading
explore the light & dark parts of me
all available through lulu.com
&
just putting it out there,
if you do like my book
the invisible exhibitionist
you are totally encouraged to review it over on goodreads
in fact
all three of my books
as well as anthologies i was included in
are on goodreads
check out my author page 🙂
the invisible exhibitionist was, in part, my response to social media. being a highly sensitive introvert, social media was especially difficult for me. why was everyone happy but me?
so instead of posting selfies with perfect hair, i inked how i saw myself, warts & all. instead of photos of my delicious meal or fantastic vacation, i posted free verse that glorified all of my short comings as a mother. as a daughter. as a friend & lover.Â
i didn’t want to show everyone how well i was doing, i wanted to reassure others that they were not alone in their struggles.
the invisible exhibitionist is available through lulu.com or contact me for an autographed copy.Â

at 12
i decided to be a novelist.
i was sure
i would be famous
by my 20’s.
at 28
i rediscovered my love
of writing comics
i was no longer so sure
i would be
famous
but at least
i would be having a good time
at 50
i finally published my first book
followed by another
before i turn
51.
first a book of comics
then a book of short stories
next
a novel?
a collection of art?
it seems
i finally
have
my momentum.
buy my book of comics–“confusion perfume”–the story of a single woman & her dog (not cathy) as well as a sampling of other neurotic comics.
buy my book of short stories & flash fiction–tangled together–stuff i have been working on (or hiding in a trunk) for the past 30 years.
write me kind reviews & wait with bated breath for my next literary contribution.
confusion perfume & other neurotic comics on amazon
tangled together on amazon
tangled together on lulu
tangled together on barnes & noble
tangled together the ebook
or message me for an autographed copy 🙂
all this info is also available on my “love for sale” page
another attempt at updating my site has me putting all my books for sale on my store page (love for sale)…so now you have all the information you need to become my number one fan!
one month from today
my second book (tangled together) hits the stands
(my book confusion perfume still available!)
also
working on a commission for a friend
as i scribble her face
using my photos of her from the 90s
and
working on a logo
for a group i am helping
bring to life
as my journal slows
i think about what to do
to keep myself
busy.
in addition to having confusion perfume & other neurotic comics available through amazon (or contact me for an autographed copy)
in its proofing stage, to be released soon this year, tangled together…a collection of flash fiction & short stories written by me over the last 30 years.
this is based on a journal page from a few months back…. i did it on watercolor paper with bamboo pen & ink brush…
i’m trying to sell art…plus i have a book or two coming out soon…i am trying to make myself more professional & all that jazz…so i upgraded my website. the problem is, i am not at all web savvy.
any suggestions?
anyone know what to do to put my desk in order? (so to speak)
