A Traveler’s Guide to Making Magic
In two short months my newest writing project will officially launch!
When I Die
I’m in the process of unwinding my father’s life, a necessary part of being an executor, and while he wasn’t big on social media, the very real question of “What happens to all of my virtual information when I die?” has relevance.

Changes Coming!
I’m super excited about a few things that will be coming to this site and to me as an author in the social media milieu.
