My sequel poetry book, Velvet Flame : the poetry in life after loss , came out in November and I’ll have the pleasure of reading from it alongside the lovely Christina Myers on January 13th. She has wonderful books on midlife, Half-Way Home , and also on postpartum depression, Beyond Blue , as well as a very funny romance novel, The List of Last Chances . Her honest and hilarious reflections on growing up in the 80’s and 90’s brought tears to my eyes at her last reading.

Our readings take place at a wonderful little treasure-trove of a bookstore called Albany Books in Tsawwassen, as part of a monthly local author reading series hosted by the Delta Literary Arts Society. I’m thrilled to be one of the guests this time!

My poetry will touch on themes such a the bittersweet arrival of rainbow babies, the messy struggle of family life, hope and the power of female friendship.

Come join us for a fun evening of literature and laughter, and enjoy having tea and snacks together! Hope to see you there!
