I’ve been interviewed about my upcoming Odyssey Online class, All the World’s a Page, over at WOW! Women on Writing! A short read if you’d like to learn more about the class or want to procrastinate on holiday-related drudgery.
If you want to read one of our books but can't afford it, just ask. We'll send you a free ebook.
I've learned a lot about writing from Barbara. Her class is going to be fantastic. Take it if you can!

If you're a newer writer considering signing a predatory contract because you feel like it will help your career long term to publish in a "prestige" market and "It's only a short story," I beg you to reconsider.
I'm happy to say my story "Chasing the Sky Whale" is in this issue! I wrote the story when I was grieving for my grandma, so it is full of grief. I'm glad it found such good company here

It came to my attention that a very prestigious magazine posted my collection, Different Kinds of Defiance, as an example of having used AI for its cover art. First of all, any tools that point this are not foolproof and have a lot of false positives, as any illustrator can check with their own art.
Got a novella under 30,000 words? I'll offer detailed developmental edits on it for a flat $300 if you book with me today.
