Exactly a year ago, we were in Budapest talking quietly (furtively) with our Hungarian guide about the weekly protests. I am so happy for Hungary today.

A delightful evening listening to Ayana V. Jackson discuss her art in conversation with Roxanne Gay at the University of Nevada.

The First World War ended at 11:00 on November 11, 1918. Remembering my grandfather who served.

Another example of the cuts to Medicare under the current administration’s budget slashing. Received this letter from my oncologist today. While I don’t use telehealth, many vulnerable patients who live in remote areas of Nevada rely on this. Tell me again how they’re making America great.

Picture of letter stating the doctor can no longer offer telehealth services due to Congress not extending Medicare telehealth coverage.

Celebrate Women's Fiction Day with a copy of this amazing anthology of stories of heroic women, including my story about the Canary Girls of World War One. Because well-behaved women rarely make history. #FeistyDeeds #historicalfiction

A timeline zen moment. The incomparable Emmy Lou Harris on our Cayamo cruise (sorry, no video. You’ll just have to imagine her singing).❤️

So proud of this prize-winning anthology and my sister writers! I hope you’ll grab a copy. The 23 stories cover multiple historical periods. My story “Canary Girl” honors the munitions workers of the First World War.
