Getting published is part of the business of writing. Granted, it's not always easy to find the right home for your work. Queries, submissions, rejections are all part of the gig when you don the writer's hat. Regardless, it's always great to see your creative work fly out into the world. Below I've listed a few published pieces with brief audio excerpts, as well as a source link.
Would have, should have, could have. A story that reminds us of all the things we wished we'd said. Because waiting too long means sometimes it's simply too late.
Sonoma Summers Series (Books 1-3), Phoenix Publications, March 2020Okay, so let me make this perfectly clear: I didn't set out to write Romance. Could never imagine introducing myself as a Romance writer (ehhhhwww!). But I found myself writing a few novellas with romantic elements and HEA/HFN (Happily Ever After / Happily for Now) endings. So, yeah... since the boots fit, I figured I might as well polish them.
The Sonoma Summers collection includes the first three books in this series — Never Say Never, Never Say No to Love, and Never Say Goodbye -- featuring Jess, Jackie, and Rita. Fall in love with this gripping set of novellas and prepare to be whisked away to a world full of family, friendships and love where you least expect it. Also available in Kindle ebook format.
Written with my cousin, Elaine Sorrentino. This piece juxtaposes Elaine’s poetry with my prose, allowing both voices to reflect similarities and differences via contrasting form, language, and style. See the Hybrid Collaborations page.
About Home . . . Home can mean different things at different points in our lives. East coast or west? Family of origin or family of choice? And what happens when the home you thought you had is no longer where you feel you belong?
Intermittent insanity once believed to be related to the phases of the moon. The flight from confinement that allows us to become feral, and thus discover those mad moments when true brilliance is born.
A dream that was more than a dream. An unforgettable woman.
Long fiction is my passion. I enjoy falling into a character's story, allowing the movie in my head to unfurl, my fingers tapping madly to keep pace with what's happening. All the Colors of Water, a heroine-centric work of women's fiction set against the backdrop of the 1970s cultural revolution, follows the story of Janella Jacobsen and her beloved niece, Janny.
Lush, lyrical, and quietly magical, All the Colors of Water is a haunting, luminous exploration of love, loss, and the ways we carry each other forward, even after goodbye.
In a similar vein and format as A Tale of Two Horses on the Prose Poems page, True Colors and The Beholder explore the responsibility of truth telling and the challenges life throws at you along the road to be-coming.
Although I don't consider myself a poet, I did have a piece that fit the bill for this Moonstone Press anthology that highlights both the challenges and joys of motherhood.
