How is possible that the last time I blogged was May 9? Time does fly! I’m now mostly settled in South Bend, Indiana, and lots of things have been happening personally, but I’m here to tell you about two book-related things: I was just recently interviewed by New Books Network about America’s Forgotten Suffragists.

Hi, everyone! Yes, I am still here. I’ve just been quiet because my life has been crazy (in a great way)! If you follow me on Facebook, you already know that I have a serious boyfriend and am moving to South Bend, Indiana, on May 20, to live with him. So that has totally thrown […]

Tomorrow, the company I work for is holding a special event to celebrate the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I was asked to write and present a poem and I wanted to share it with all of you today–the day the holiday is celebrated. The Dream Lives On 94 years […]
I’m happy to report Fierce Females in Television: A Cultural History is done and in to my editor. Now I finally have time to tell you about a special project I’ve been involved with for the last few months. I’ve been working with Ky Bragdon and a team of amazing people to create and market […]
