One of my latest projects is a creative non-fiction book of linked personal essays following the early and sudden death of my husband, and discovering my pregnancy of our second child on the same day.

I also participated in NaNoWriMo during November of 2008 and finished my first novel -- which I thoroughly enjoyed. And now to editing!

Another project I'm working on involves "five minutes of fame and no shame!" Some fellow writers and I started a No Shame theater in Eugene, OR. We perform right after the First Friday Art Walks in the Atrium Building on 10th and Olive Streets on the first Fridays of every month (except January 1, 2010). Doors open at 7:30 pm and show starts at 8 pm.  Check out No Shame's Facebook page for updated info. Or email questions to:  noshameeugene@gmail.com.
