“Now . . . even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream . . . that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: - 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men (people) are created equal.”

― Martin Luther King Jr.

Thanks for connecting. I wish you a new year of light and hope during these dangerous times.

I Presented My LGBTQ Novel at Miami Book Fair in this Age of Banned Books This is how it went: Rainbow flags, books, and hope

Bringing Hollywood Pride into the Miami Book Fair lineup was a powerful experience. If I could have chosen any year to be a part of this community, 2025 would have been it. Here's why.

Be safe and be well.

Thanks to Miami Dade College, Wolfson Campus, for hosting the Miami Book Fair.

I'm proud that Hollywood Pride is now on the shelves of their library!

In a state that many view as the epicenter of banned books, the #MiamiBookFair created an instant community of readers and writers, people uniting in solidarity for freedom to read and freedom to write.

I'm grateful to have been one of this year's #authors.
