Do you believe in magic?

I’ve always been a writer and an artist. I bet you are a creative person, too. When did you start making up stories? When did you start creating art?

I started making up stories at Vestal Elementary in Portland, Oregon. At age 20, I ditched the rain and spent 20 perplexing years in Los Angeles trying to find something, not sure what. Life took me back to Oregon for 24 more years, where I had lots of time to ponder the mysteries of rain. I moved to Tucson, Arizona, during Covid, looking for something else, not sure what. Four years was enough time to appreciate the treacherousness of 115°F heat.

Where am I now? Who knows. Nowhere means everywhere. I seem to be a nomad at heart. What if everyone put their house on wheels?

I want to believe magic exists somewhere and that someday I will find it. In the meantime, I write magic into existence through cozy fantasies about the human experience, imbued with magic, myth, and humor, to entertain and reassure readers who need a break from the uncertainties of the so-called real world.
