I am so excited to show you the covers of my next two books, which are also my first traditionally published books. You can pre-order both in hardback now; e-book is coming soon and paperback will be out about a year after the initial publication. Coming November 15! An insightful look at the cultural impact […]
In honor of Nurses Week (May 6-12), this month we’ll learn the amazing story of Estelle Massey Osborne, who fought against racial discrimination in nursing. The Rory Meyers College of Nursing at NYU says of her: “Few Americans helped to change the face of nursing in the 20th-century more than Estelle Massey Osborne.” Estelle Massey […]
Well, I totally forgot to post this in April. At least I’m only two days late… April is National Occupational Therapy Month. There is an old saying that goes something like, “if you want something done right, ask a woman.” That is exactly how occupational therapy (OT) got its start. In the early 1900s, two […]
When I started this blog, my intent was to trace the publication process of books and my experience as an author. I think I’ve accomplished that on the self-pub side, so now as my first traditionally published books head to press, I want to bring you along on that journey as well. Here’s what is […]
Happy Women’s History Month, everyone!

Mary Katherine was born in New London, Connecticut, on June 16, 1738, to Dr. Giles Goddard, a physician and postmaster, and Sarah Updike Goddard. Mary Katherine was one […]
2021 was my busiest year yet on purpose, but I also discovered my limits. That’s why I want 2022 to be all about me–not in a selfish way, but in a self-care, finding balance kind of way. I really believe that we design our own lives and therefore I want to design a life I […]
This was supposed to be posted in December. Whoopsie. Dr. Patricia Bath was a woman of many firsts: The first Black person to complete a residency in ophthalmology. The first female faculty member and first female chair in the Department of Ophthalmology at UCLA’s Jules Stein Eye Institute. The first Black female doctor to receive […]
Happy 2022 everyone! Sorry I’ve been so quiet, but I’ve been on two book deadlines. One was early in December for the League of Women Voters book and the other was yesterday for the Sex and the City (SATC) book. I stayed awake for 36 straight hours finishing it, but I finally got it turned […]
