My Writing
Here you’ll find the stories I’ve written and shared with the world — from published short fiction to anthologies I’ve contributed to, plus a peek at the projects I’m currently working on.
Anthologies I’m Published in:
These Ties We Forge
There are children in need in every part of the world and in every fictitious realm-from newborns to teens.
In These Ties We Forge, multiple authors come together to bring you stories and poems about resilience, love, and the power of making connections even in the midst of loneliness and detachment.
An elf with a unique oddity cowers in an orphanage, losing hope of ever finding a forever family. Time travel takes a father to the past in order to right his wrongs with his daughter. A young girl collects flowers from each home and person who comes into her life.
What’s in it of mine: Prayer for Foster Parents of an Emotionally Closed and Hurting Child.
– A liturgical prayer inspired by my brief but impactful stint as a foster mom.
Cool thing about it: Profits will support a children’s home in South Africa.
Tales From the Forest
We all know the story of the little girl in a red cloak and hood, going through the forest to visit her grandmother, who meets up with a wolf.
These twelve stories take the familiar and twist it around, inside out and upside down. You’ll laugh, you’ll shiver, you’ll boo and cheer — maybe both at the same time.
Settle in and hold on tight, because these definitely aren’t your granny’s fairytales…
What’s in it of mine: A Cactus Among Wolves
Prickly Grandma Brumby’s idyllic motorcycle ride with her grandkids turns into an encounter with her arch nemesis: an elderly, succulent aficionado named Terence Cooper.
As if his gifts of cacti weren’t aggravating enough, he’s threatening the future of her beloved Society of Badass Grandmas. He’s even gone so far as to loose a reporter on her—which might expose a truth she’s determined to keep buried.

Poetry From The Archives
I’m primarily a writer of prose (and probably always will be), but sometimes a particular word, image, or emotion stands up in my head and demands to be a poem. Who am I to object? These are mostly older poems, with a few new ones thrown in.
