2026

February
Last month I was honored to participate in my first flash fiction reading event to help launch the Left Coast Crime writing conference in San Francisco. Along with eight amazing authors, I shared a never-before-published crime story set in San Francisco featuring fog as a main character. The event was held at The Best Bookstore in Union Square, an absolutely beautiful space that everyone must visit when you’re in the Bay Area. The emcee for the evening was award-winning drag queen Elsa Touche, who stole the show.

My story is called Ghost Tour, and contains a character from my third book, The Turn.
