As much as I loathe being on FB, I have too much history on this page to let it go . . . I don't muse on there as often as I'd planned, but updates are always there first, so follow if interested :)

As for other goings on, I haven't been sewing much because I'm caught up writing my new novel. I'm hoping to set aside time to finish projects over the holidays, when writing becomes impossible anyway . . . I have so many scraps and am thinking of turning them into bookmarks to give as gifts.
news, thoughts, bits & pieces . . .
Book discussion at the beautiful, unique St. Johnsbury Athenaeum on 10/29/26. Mercy was selected as one of Kirkus Reviews' Best YA Books of 2025. Their review is here. See the link in the sidebar for more info on Mercy and earlier novels. Looking forward to connecting with readers!
some other works in progress
A tapestry pieced from some of my mom's towels and fabrics, coming along very slowly over the months ...
I'm also looking forward to my upcoming chat with sisters Pauline and Sandra Mehanna of "Raconte un Peu" (Tell Me More), a super fascinating, tri-lingual literary podcast. We'll be diving deep into questions of identity ... stay tuned for the link :)
A few happenings to share :)
And I'm thrilled that my essay "Webs" will be in an upcoming issue of the fantastic Beirut literary journal Rusted Radishes. I will post the link when it's out :)
