Life has, as it always will, taken a bit of its toll on me over the last few months. But things are moving along, and I wanted to share a few updates! Like where I've been working (my dream job), what it was like to host some pretty amazing talks on Zoom (and meet incredible people) - and why I'm very excited to see my name in a literary anthology. Getting published in book number two is kind of a big deal!
