IN A WORD — Essays on life, imperfectly and with awe.
I've published essays and stories all over the internet. My most immediate writing lives on Substack.
In a Word is where I write about midlife, mindset, meaning, creativity and the metaphors hiding in everyday life.
Sometimes funny. Sometimes tender. Sometimes wondering aloud. Always curious.

BOOKS & LONG-FORM WORK
THE BUTTERFLY SYMPHONY — My debut novel-in-progress explores music, motherhood, grief, friendship and the extraordinary ways we learn to hear our lives differently.
At its center is Canada Lark, a gifted classical composer whose unusual relationship with sound has always been both blessing and burden. Then an unimaginable loss changes everything.

FOR THE SCREEN
I've developed feature scripts, television projects and pilots and collaborated with other creators to bring stories from idea to page.
That love of cinematic storytelling still influences everything I write.
As a writer, I create intense character-driven stories with strong voices searching for truth. A short film I wrote and co-produced, On Georgia’s Mind, premiered in LA and played a run on the film festival circuit.
Three of my feature scripts have placed in the prestigious Nicholl Fellowship. My script, The Butterfly Symphony, also placed in the Austin Film Festival Screenwriting Competition.
THE STORIES CONTINUE.
I don't know that writers ever really choose stories. Sometimes stories choose us.
They tap us on the shoulder. Whisper. Pester. Wake us up at three in the morning. And occasionally refuse to leave until we finally sit down and listen.
I'm still listening.
