To enhance your writing experience, she suggests workshop attendees bring to the workshop “a few mouthfuls of fruit, a stone, something fragrant like a flower or spice, a natural pinecone, a blade of grass, leaf or wild flower, something sweet like honey, something sour like a wedge of lime, and something with an interesting texture.”

Her short stories and poetry have been broadcast internationally and nominated for The Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net Anthology.
