My current novel in progress, Heliotrope is set in a small cloistered Northern California college town in the mid 1970s when SNL was the hip new underground TV show and no one could have imagined cell phones or the Internet. Protagonist Kit, a twenty-two-year-old idealist and college senior becomes disillusioned with her idol setting in motion a regrettable destructive act she fears she can never un-do.

Write only if you are compelled to write, if you love to write. Write for yourself. Strive to improve.
Seek honest feedback from writers you admire.

Writing fiction is like time travel. Mentally escaping, delving deeply into a scene, storyline or a character’s head—this is the best part for me. I love it when hours evaporate.
