Evan was exactly the type her country-club parents would have disapproved of. Ripped abs and soul-deep eyes. Lightning-fast fists. One glance and she knew she had to be his - if just for these seven brief, torturously-exquisite days. #booksky #romance #suspense

Father's Day is coming. In the past 2 1/2 years I've lost my father and then my mother. It's been a long road, but I'm finding a new peace and treasuring the memories. I'm finally feeling like I can start to write again. One day at a time! Treasure the people in your lives. #writing #book #booksky

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

The Stonewall Inn and The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative are outraged and appalled by the recent removal of the word 'transgender' from the Stonewall National Monument page on the National Park Service website. This blatant act of erasure not only distorts the truth of our history, but it also dishonors the immense contributions of transgender individuals - especially transgender women of color - who were at the forefront of the Stonewall Riots and the broader fight for LGBTQ+ rights.

A watercolor painting with a black me at and a pine wood frame. The painting shows some dead trees and bushes in a yellow fog. A single digit stands in the swirling yellow mist in a long cloak and a gas mask.
