This page is to announce to my dear friends and family that my poetry collection from Finishing Line Press, Blue Laws, is coming out this winter—a perfect time to explore the psyche’s dark recesses, the hidden salvational light of family, sex, and love.

“This is a new voice unafraid to reveal the self and willing to go the distance."

- Dorianne Laux

“In the deeply tender and carefully observed poems of Blue Laws, the “domestic de rigeur” is rife with surprising ecstasies and possible griefs.”

- Kim Addonzio

“These poems have the breath of life in them.”

- Joe Millar

“A strong first book from a promising poet.”

- Ellen Bass

“Blue Laws is a book of gritty beauty and unexpected turns.”

- David Hernandez
