Welcome to Our Community!

It’s been almost nine months since my husband, Alan, passed away suddenly while, thankfully, doing something he enjoyed—working on the lawn. When I think about that day, the pain still can hit me like a wave—or a slap—and the tears flow.

Telling stories and writing poetry has always felt like a calling to me, but early on, I didn’t find myself surrounded by very many other creatives. Then, in my mid-twenties, I began a career in arts administration, and a whole new world opened up to me. I found myself surrounded by a community of people who cared as much as I did about the music of language, plot development, and proper semicolon use.
