I created a 90s music playlist for the novel late last year, so I’ve been listening to Dolores O’Riordan’s gorgeous voice for months. I knew I wanted a Cranberries song in the mix because they will forever be the sound of my 20s. Linger…Ode to My Family…Dreams…it was so hard to pick one. I finally chose Zombie. It still gives me shivers and I’m so sad to hear that she’s gone.
Thank you to an amazing artist & strong woman.

I’ll be giving away advance copies of THE SUMMER LIST soon. I can’t wait to share Laura and Casey’s story with you.
As a journalist I’ve interviewed everyone from beer-brewing monks to nanotechnologists. Most of my clips can be found on Contently.
One of my favorite profiles is about Buzz Martin, a brilliant storyteller:
The Singing Logger
1859 Oregon Magazine
His gravelly voice sang of whistle-punks, cork boots and loss.
