Book signing event in Bisbee, Arizona

What a great time I had signing my book in Bisbee, AZ yesterday! Okay, so I only sold 4 books, but out of the 4, 3 were purchased by men, and two of those men made a special trip to meet and and buy a signed copy.

Why is this a big deal? Because it's a fact that women read more than men, and women also read more memoirs. I'm delighted that men are interested in my story!

Speaking engagement at the San Diego Memoir Writers Association

On Saturday, May 5th, I sat on a small panel to discuss the option of finding a small publisher instead of a literary agent, self-publishing, or using a hybrid publisher. Over 40 people attended. I'm so honored to be able to share my publishing journey with those either beginning their own journey, or hoping to some day embark!

In the news! The head of the U.S. Forest Service resigns

Amidst the backlash of the PBS video where woman stepped up to voice the horrendous treatment they experience while working for the U.S. Forest Service, Chief Tony Tooke resigns. Amazing. I hope this signals major changes! It would be about time.

Women speak out about mistreatment in the U.S. Forest Service

I was blacklisted when I reported discrimination in 1978...here it is, 40 years later, and nothing has changed. What needs to be done? Why do men think this behavior is acceptable?
