"Ironically, I received this #book as a gift, and it is a gift indeed." My first #novel, ONE SISTER'S SONG, has a new, wonderfully detailed 5-star reader review after 18 years in print. #NeverGetsOld #ReadersRock

Loved attending and revisiting through this post the second DENVERSE MAGAZINE Podium to Page poetry reading at @TheCornerBeet. Meeting other writers and learning about them through their work are among my favorite things to do.

This week, I'm fighting back.

My case heads to arbitration on Thursday.
