I began my writing career as an advertising copywriter--left the agency world to raise my kids and do work more for love than money. Over the past 30 years, I've written screenplays, teleplays, one-acts, and books (beginning with my memoir, "Baptism by Fire"), taught creative writing and Junior Great Books, created an original, arts-based vespers called The Renaissance Service (TM), and led retreats at a high desert monastery. "The Pitcher's Mom" is my valentine to all the years spent watching my son play—and eventually coach—the game he taught me to love and will ring true for any mother who's ever washed a Little League uniform, or any parent who's ever waited and wondered if their child's big dream was actually meant to be. Many of the same themes are explored in "Elijah & the SAT," a curious braid of memoir, social commentary, and biblical narrative. Elijah was the last book I wrote before completing my MA in Theology at Concordia University, Irvine and co-founding a company called icktank. Icktank Press has now released three books "Loaded Words: Freeing 12 Hard Bible Words from Their Baggage" (co-authored), my thesis work, which was reformatted for mainstream release under the title "Man Turned in on Himself: Understanding Sin in 21st-Century America," and now, "happy are those:ancient wisdom for modern life." This small guidebook makes my heart sing :)
