Tina goes to Heaven (Ad Lumen Press, 2016)
After a successful robbery to bankroll her escape from a life of prostitution, Tina Martin finds herself stranded — and flat broke — in the most unlikely place, a rustic fishing resort and campground nestled in the Sierra Nevada. And though it's difficult to shake off the curious habits and natural mistrust of others that she learned in her past life, Tina comes to rely on her good intentions, keen intelligence, and willingness to take on unpleasant tasks to make herself indispensable to the camp's cranky proprietor, Bill — and his desperately fractured family.

Circus Girl & Other Stories (Ad Lumen Press, 2014) is a collection of sixteen short stories about women's lives, bringing the hidden emotional and spiritual (fictional) realities of each protagonist to life. Those who lives in these pages are seeking to make sense of their lives, and whether they succeed or not is delivered with satisfying ambiguity. Learn more

BIOBorn in the Dust Bowl, I grew up in Texas and Oklahoma, then New Mexico, which I still dearly love, though I now live in Sacramento, California, where there are trees and bodies of water. I teach at American River College. The writing life has been a revelation to me. I have always made things up.
