Mating Habits of Fireflies, my new novel, has been chosen as an editor’s pick and a semifinalist in Publishers Weekly’s 2024 Booklife Prize for general fiction. The mission of the BookLife Prize is to discover, cultivate, support, and celebrate great works by independent authors.

I’m honored to have my art shown in a beautiful case next to the gym entrance and climbing wall (metaphor for reaching new heights?) at the Truckee Community Recreation Center. I rotate the exhibit periodically to showcase both my recent and archival works of art.
As locals are aware, the “New Rec Center” hosts professional art exhibits as well as being a favorite community location for classes, fitness facilities, and public art.
