For over thirty years, I've been the person who makes sure thirty children get home safe. But there's more to me than the yellow bus and the morning checklist.

I read speculative fiction because I believe every story has a future waiting to be written. I tend to my sourdough starter because some things worth keeping alive need patience and care.
