Igniting Souls
“But this all writers know absolutely to be true: writers save their own lives, and they save other people’s lives. They ignite their own and others’ souls, courage and understanding of this troubled world.”
This Montana Writer’s Life on Patreon and Substack
Did you know I have free Patreon and Substack accounts? I try to post there every week, sometimes more, sometimes less. Lately, the post have been about adult ADHD and I’ve been getting some great emails from people about them. You can sign up on either platform, for free, so you don’t miss a beat.
Happy holidays! Thank you for being here. I appreciate you. Hope you are staying warm and safe this holiday season.
50 Give or Take
My piece, Torment of the Unspoken, came out in Vine Leaves Press’ 50 Give or Take! Always wonderful to be included in a printed collection ❤️

Online Winter Writing Workshops
My local library has been wanting me to do more writing workshops, but it’s hard to schedule, because our library is (thankfully) extremely full of programming already. We’ve agreed an online workshop might work best, especially in the harder month of February when people are starting to get cabin fever. There will be four sessions, all free and all online via Zoom, and anyone can attend. You can register to attend and have Zoom automatically remind you by checking out my Events Page or finding the events on Facebook.
