Work in Progress

I'm working on a full-length fiction novel featuring a 13-year-old Lakota girl forced into reeducation at an Indian boarding school in 1920s South Dakota. I want to explore the strength of the human spirit and the interaction of people and their environment in the dramatic, beautiful, and bleak setting of the Black Hills. I am also deeply engaged with exploring the repercussions of using education as a blunt instrument. I'm excited to combine my writing skills with my sociology background in the research and writing of this.

Also, don't miss the continuation of the Murder By Month mystery series.
