Kimberly: I read your "Patron Saint" while reviewing The Southeast Review. Your ability to camouflage literary tricks and tropes is so well developed that it brought to mind Graham Greene. Here's what I wrote in my review: "Her subtle manipulation of structure, pace, and rhythm enhance character development. Her plot lingers in the memory for days afterward, twisting around in a way that brings to mind Arundathi Roy’s God of Small Things." You've inspired my reading so greatly that I searched around for your blog, to which I've subscribed in order to keep up with your work. It's good brain food! Cheers!
I live, write, and work in a sweet town perched on the edge of Puget Sound. My work has been published in a variety of genres, including poetry, fiction, and children's literature. I love sharing my passion for words and community with folks of all ages, from elementary school students to adults, and have been privileged to do just that for many years as a teacher, journalist, spiritual writer, and friend. Pots of tea abound.
