Current Projects

I’m currently working on a handful of writing projects, each with a different time horizon for completion:

  • A poetry collection about the effects of incarceration on families.

  • A collection of short stories set in a fictional town in Louisiana in the early 21st century.

  • A novel that focuses on multiple generations of two families whose lives span continents—and intersect at a few pivotal moments over the course of many decades.

When do I write? Because my weeks are full—with university partnership work and the return to being a student—my creative writing occurs during intentional times. I don’t write creatively every day, though I write regularly for work and school. What keeps me moving is a habit: one evening each week set aside for writing, currently Tuesday, and one Saturday morning each month for the administrative work that keeps the rest of it possible.

I love corresponding and strive to answer messages during my writing blocks. If these topics are of interest to you, or you want to correspond about something I’ve already published, please write to me.
