A passion for words

The characters choose the words, and the words decide what they want to be  ̶ a poem, a play, a screenplay, or prose. My motto: Let imagination reign.

The Play is the Thing

Seeing words come to life onstage is thrilling for a writer. Theatre is a collaborative artform, and I’ve been blessed to have worked with many talented actors, directors, and other theatre artists over the past 25+ years. I’m also grateful to all the organizations who have said “yes” to my work.

Whether you are looking for a full-length play for your community theatre or a two-person comedy for your acting class, you can find it here.

Poet’s Corner

Poetry is the cry of the soul. It can beat the drum of joyfulness, reflect on the past, or sound the alarm. The goal is to make the reader feel and think and dream. My small verses have appeared in earnest literary magazines like The Ana, In Parentheses, Anapaca Review, The Elevation Review, The Ground Up, Gabby & Min Publications, Pink Panther Magazine, Squawk Back, Compass Rose, Door is a Jar Magazine, The Lake, A New Ulster, Field Guide Magazine, Metachrosis Lit Mag, !Pa’lante!, Horned Things, and more!

Screenplay, Camera, Action!

I have been in love with movies since I was a toddler when my mother took me to a special showing of Disney’s Mary Poppins. I remember sitting on the floor looking up at a giant Julie Andrews as she sang “A Spoonful of Sugar” and wishing she could be my nanny. Today, I tell my own visual stories through short screenplays.

“It is the writer who might catch the imagination of young people and plant a seed that will flower.”
