Ex-professional ballet dancer turned writer (they/she). I’ve had three great loves in my life: dancing, writing, and being queer. I’ve written (and #amquerying) a novel, The Fire Years, that includes all three. ❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Gigantic crowd in NYC for the #HandsOff march against Trump, Musk, and MAGA. So many people that the participants can barely move along. Signs decrying Trump and Co. on many fronts: immigration, science, Social Security, reproductive rights, tariffs, autocracy, kleptocracy & the price of eggs.

Set in Chicago in 1992, two dancers, a teacher and his brilliant male protégé, fall in love but scarcely act on their feelings before circumstances separate them. It will take a tragic accident to bring them back together in this story about life after loss and the bittersweet resiliency of love.

The first book that made me want to become a writer was Jeanette Winterson’s Written on the Body. Talk about both a queer and writerly wake up call! It was both Aciman’s Call Me by Your Name and Yanagihara’s A Little Life that prompted me to write The Fire Years. I had to heal my heart somehow!

Trump is conducting an authoritarian witch hunt against foreign students here legally, simply because they’ve engaged in free speech that his regime doesn’t like. This is modern-day McCarthyism and an attack on the First Amendment. We must all stand up against it.

mRNA is at the forefront of cancer research, as well as vaccines National Institutes of Health officials have now told scientists to remove all references to mRNA vaccines from their grant applications. This means that all research in the field will be stopped and abandoned.
