Craftaluma in Petaluma!

 

I'll be hosting a table and slinging copies of "Sweet Charlotte's Seventh Mistake" here, Sunday, 8/21.

Hanging out on Facebook...

I've been setting up a Facebook page. Come on over and gimme a "Like"! :)

Hmmm... My book came out on Kindle and I didn't even know about it. Whelp... *scratches head* Ahhh... YAY?  Though I'm not sure if Kindle is the right choice or the best platform for "Sweet Charlotte's Seventh Mistake"... I do hope she is loved by it's enthusiasts.  Maybe they'll become curious about the mysterious black-n-white cut-off layouts and give the paper version a look-see.

There are times as a working artist where one learns to let go of their work.  

Full color art, empheria, and collage surround prose in decorative text.

SC7M is all grown up and I wish her the best.  Go get 'em!

The Mother's Day/Cinco de Mayo rush is over.  Now I can play around with some ideas I've been toying with all year.  I think I'll have a new line by September- and maybe even a t-shirt!

There is a chicken roasting in the oven and I just finished cooking Cathy, The Showfood Chef's, amazing Kaboucha Soup with Cilantro Chili Drizzle! I know it's amazing cause I've already had a little bowl, OK a BIG bowl!  It hasn't snowed in the SF Bay Area since 1976... when I was in kindergarten.  I remember it with every ounce of my soul!  It's a magical night here.  There is such a strong feeling of inspiration and possibility!  As the temp drops our bellies will be warm, full, and ready to make this winter's magic a reality.  Let it snow!

Last night from my back yard. 
Sometimes it comes in your favorite colors.
