INITIATE CALCULATION →Welcome to My World
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.
In the evenings, when the last child has been dropped off and the engine has cooled, I pick up my paintbrush. I mix watercolors like I mix my morning coffee—slow, deliberate, with an eye toward what comes next.
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.
This is my corner of the galaxy. Come explore.
