LGBTQ+ Community
When I began writing Analyzing the Prescotts, I was knee deep in research for my Ph.D. dissertation. I studied works (fiction, nonfiction, poetry, memoir) written by transgender authors, pre- and post-transition. The stories that arose from each of the writers’ works often revealed a fear of revealing their true selves, primarily because the pain they […]
Multiple Points of View

Now, I want to share this space with other writers who need to get some work done and might not have the space or funds to do so. I’m opening my second bedroom for certain writers on a donation basis. My way of giving back. I hope that whoever stays here in this place with Izzy and me can write and breathe and relax.
