So many things constantly seeping out of my brain and onto bits of paper, my desktop, etc. From ideas for my next book on history to a title for my memoir in progress, I'm constantly ready and wanting to write.(less)

Another Important Story

Pasadena Star News, February 2025

SOME PEOPLE DON’T KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THEIR STORIES ARE. Mrs. Henrietta Hendrix is one of them. Henrietta is a friend of mine and I am lucky for that connection. I say this in part selfishly; she is a great cheerleader of my work. I have a feeling she has been a cheerleader for many others as well.

This is the book you can't wait to get back to -- and don't want to be over. The story itself is familiar (there are only so many stories, we writers say) but the charcaters are new. They are original yet I know them. The author also does a good job ...more

“You've got to breathe! And make the bridge between the top half of your body and the bottom. Between the woman in you who's sweet and tender, and the woman in you who's a bitch.”
― Katie Singer, The Wholeness of a Broken Heart

“When I called Nona Aguilar, author of The New No-Pill, No-Risk Birth Control (Simon & Schuster, 1986), I described my frustration that I was not acceptable to the training program at the Albuquerque clinic. “Well,” she said, respectfully, “I agree with that policy.” I leaned back in my chair. “Okay,” I said. “I don’t understand this.

In our culture, artificial birth control—which feminists have strongly advocated—has made sex a recreational activity. Sex certainly can be recreational, but its potential is to be transcendent. Sex is the life-bearing force of humankind. When lovemaking is recreational, it’s a little like being color-blind during sunset over the Grand Canyon.

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.”
― James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room
