What are you working on? 

I just had my first chapbook published: Morning Walk with Dead Possum, Breakfast and Parallel Universe (Animal Heart Press).  My second chapbook, Particularly Dangerous Situation, will be published later this year by Clare Songbirds Publishing.  Both those books dealt in some manner with my grief journey following the unexpected death of my granddaughter in 2013. I’m now writing a full-length manuscript.  It’s just starting to take form in my mind, but I believe it’s about trying to re-enter the world of the living.
