Welcome to my writing life . . .
Here are the big things that are happening . . .
-
This past year I was on sabbatical from teaching at John Jay College. (which is part of City University of New York), and in that time I finished one novel and started the next. These books tell the story of Kristin, who tries—in often surprising ways—to remain resilient, despite the chaos which surrounds her.

In June, I thought I would be traveling to Ireland to present my talk on Writing, Technology, and Creativity at the Arts and Society Conference in Galway, but then, COVID. So I made a virtual poster instead.

As I return to (online) teaching, I will continue working on the novels. But I also expect to publish some poems and stories that have been simmering.

If you’d like see more of what I’ve been up to, you can go to my publications and events pages.
But, of course, the real writing life isn’t about these big events. Rather, it’s about constant, quiet contemplations while walking around the lake; or about meaningful conversations or silly shenanigans with friends and family; or about everyday adventures where I’m surprised by the unexpected. It is this–these moments of daily joy and awe–that then infuses the writing. And sharing this life-writing-process with you, here and through my Instagram blog, is all part of the fun.
