I am a writer and civil rights lawyer, but most prominently I am a mom, wife, daughter, sister, aunt and sandwich-crust-cutter.

I am on the Board of PATH (People Assisting the Homeless), which works to end homelessness. Proceeds from sales of "Deliver Me: True Confessions of Motherhood" have been donated here, so that every mother can have a place to tuck her child in at night.

My debut novel, Shelter Us, will be published in June 2015 by She Writes Press.

I am the editor (and one of 20 contributors to) the anthology Deliver Me: True Confessions of Motherhood, available on Amazon.com and Lulu.com.

I consult with artists who want help writing "Artist Statements," which set the stage for displaying their work in galleries and completes the communication they seek with viewers of their work. From these Artist Statements, my clients have earned solo shows in well regarded galleries and become finalists in competitions.
