In Her Voice
I have always been a writer. In so many ways, it feels like my best language. There is something magical about that split second between when my brain forms the thought and the time it takes that thought to traverse down my arms to pen or keyboard and then for that thought to arrive in a splash of words on the page or screen that feels, each time, like a wonder.
As a child, I would write stories and loved doing book reports. My first jobs all entailed writing and public speaking. I love all aspects of writing from the technical, to the research-based, to the creative. The pure act of creating words laced together pleases me and hopefully brings enjoyment to others.
Perhaps one of the most creative, difficult, and fun projects was the creation of “Metro MANIA: The Great Train Ride Through Washington”™. MANIA is an interactive street and board game experience that facilitates students’ use of public transportation while they gain an appreciation for the employment and cultural offerings of the Nation’s Capital. The experience game was featured in a PBS documentary on what is making a difference in Washington, DC’s challenged communities.
An unexpected joy in my writing career was the release of my debut novel, The Eves. I did not anticipate that its release, during the height of the pandemic, would lead to so many followers, speaking and writing opportunities, deep involvement in social media, close friendships, and the advent of my two award-winning radio shows. A key message of The Eves is that 'we are never done.' I’m so glad that my characters taught me that. I now know there are many adventures ahead.
The past few years have brought me warm connections with other authors, and more importantly, readers. The reading/writing community has become a steadfast part of my life. It’s exciting to serve as a book coach, writing partner, speaker, and book club guest, all while I continue to write.
Life continues to unfold, with new books and new connections. I’m grateful that you visited here today.
Thank you.
