True Blue, a collection of poems reflecting life during and after the Covid Pandemic, is my second full-length book. It is forthcoming from Finishing Line Press in October of 2025; pre-orders will start in June. Sign up on the Inquire page to receive emails regarding pre-order, and hard copy sales.

If you enjoy stories, you will love After Enchantment. You meet Prince Charming, now a Buddhist, and Jesus, over coffee. Sleeping Beauty has insomnia, the Wicked Witch apologizes, the Big Bad Wolf even sneaks in through the dark. Beautifully illustrated with watercolor images painted by my sister, Elizabeth Scheid, this is not your ordinary poetry collection, but a true artistic collaboration that you will want to read over and over again.

In March 2021, the Wick Poetry Center at Kent State University and the University of Arizona Poetry Center launched the website for the Global Vaccine Poem project, inviting anyone to share experiences of the pandemic and vaccination through poetry. Dear Vaccine features selections from over 2,000 poetry submissions to the project, which come from all 50 states and 118 different countries.

A lovely collection of poems about ordinary objects, every day experiences written by people with a strong connection to Texas. You can read my “Praise Song for Ants” and many other lovely odes.
