Here’s what’s happening right now.

School may be out for the summer, but not at RSS’s Center for Ageless Living, where I’ll be facilitating an intensive creative writing workshop for first-time authors with the goal of being published. It’s a rocky road but much smoother when we all go down it together. FacebookPinLinkedInEmail

I had such a blast chatting with Jacobo Lumberas on Dillie Creative’s Beyond Beauty podcast. He is super smart, funny, and loves the 90s as much as Sarah and I do. He’s also a big fan of Grunge, which, you know, is a big thing for Sarah. Beyond Beauty is a platform that highlights talent in […]
