My first story as a regular columnist in The Wild Word, Berlin (Germany)-based English language online literary magazine was published Saturday February 17, 2024.
The Wild Word is a beautiful and carefully curated online literary-style magazine that not only has us regular columnists, but features curated short fiction and poetry from extraordinary writers from around the world. It is very humbling to be among so many talented writers.
My regular column in the magazine is called Tumbleweed, being the dusty high-desert girl I am and all. The button below links directly to my first story on The Wild Word.

When the Colorado Women's Bar Association, the second largest women's bar association in the US, invited me to write a personal essay about the Lady Justice statues through the eyes of a childhood domestic violence survivor, I felt as though I'd waited most of my life to write the story. They published it late July 2023.
New Voice

New Voice
When I retired from performance singing, I did so with gratitude. My hope now is to find my new voice, a voice for advocacy, for human rights where I can, connecting with other scholars and survivors who are working for positive systemic change. I have a long way to go, but I've experienced and seen too much to turn away.
My couturier friend in Fruita, Colorado, made this spectacular hat for a testimony I did during Mardi Gras week that focused on the $803 billion global handicrafts market.
Member Organizations
The resources, workshops and writing opportunities available and presented through these member organizations have been and continue to prove extremely valuable for me as a writer, as a student.
