I received my MFA in Creative Writing from Lesley University in Cambridge, Mass., and I’ll never forget something the director of the program once said, because it puzzled me, at first. I don’t remember what semester it was — my second or third, most likely. We were finishing up a class with Steven, the director, […]
I had a lot of fun with my “What do YOU think happened in Granite Creek?” contest. There were some laugh-out-loud entries, and they all supported a good cause: raising money for one of my favorite charities, Smile Train, which provides cleft palate surgery for kids.

Recently, I’ve seen some well-intentioned, but not-the-best-advice-in-reality about whether authors should create a fan page on Facebook or continue to use their personal profile to connect with fans. I feel I’m qualified to […]
Considering how insane I am with my cat/muse, I think it’s best we let my ovaries be. Anyhow. Yeah.
