I have written in many types of formats – academic, informational, and fictional.
I once wrote a rhyming play about the summer reading program where I worked and performed it with a coworker and puppets to an elementary school. The kids loved it.
My portfolio can be found here.
I weave tapestries and baskets made from discarded wires and often use repurposed items and upcycled textiles in my work. I also weave belts on an inkle loom, triangles on a triangle loom, and am learning some other looms.
I offer local personalized instruction on tapestry and inkle looms for those in the Tucson area. Please contact me here if you are interested.
Stay in the loop with current projects.
So, I haven’t been posting to this blog recently – I just haven’t had time lately… However, I did post a few days ago to the Ravenous Reader Blog which my library runs. My post was called Horror in the Woods, which refers to a book I read recently, not the branch where I work. Unfortunately due…

Happy Belated New Year! I started writing this a couple of weeks ago to post in mid-January – and it had been a while since I had finished the books then…. Some parts of my life just feel as though I am wading through quickly drying mud. A couple of weeks ago, I was going…
By Peter Heller I found this book to be extremely moving. While the story is both grim and bleak, it is also wondrously hopeful and beautifully written.

Often I will put books on hold with the library and they all tend to come in at once – or in a very short time period. This is what is happening right now. I’ve had many items on hold for months which have started to arrive. First I got Phantom by Jo Nesbø. I…
By Rudolfo Anaya It’s been three weeks since I’ve returned from a visit to NYC on a not fun plane trip and a really long time since I’ve posted here. And I read most of this book on this excruciating journey. The woman who was sitting next to me joked about me finishing the book…
By Gillian Flynn Place: Publisher & Year: New York: Crown Publishers, 2012 This book has had over eight hundred holds on it in my library system for the past couple of months. It is the must read of 2012. I think I first became aware of it through EarlyWord, but it wasn’t until I put…
By Patricia Briggs Place: Publisher & Year: New York: Ace Books, 2010, 1993 Recently at work, I was checking in books and this book passed through my hands. I am mostly familiar with Briggs’s more recent Mercy Thompson and Alpha & Omega series – both of which I love. I did read Dragon Blood a little while…
By Graham Joyce Personal notes: I may have found a new favorite author with this book. I loved the gritty feel that this story has – the feel of this story is how I picture Tara’s description of viewing this reality after being away. I loved the characters – especially Ritchie. (Who doesn’t love a…
http://www.goodreads.com/I’ve been neglecting my blog lately because I’ve just had so many other things going on in my life lately. I’ve contemplated whether or not I should give up the blog altogether (since I do use Goodreads as well).
