Excited to dive into the intricate world of literary analysis with my students at Portland State University this semester! Just brewed a fresh pot of Earl Grey tea to accompany me on this rainy afternoon of writing and reading. Thrilled to be working on my next novel, exploring the complexities of love and loss in a small town setting. Delving into the magical realm of fantasy literature today - time to get lost in a new adventure! Grateful for a peaceful life by the river, where I find solace in nature and inspiration for my writing
