Meet Jennifer

Poet ~ Fiction Writer ~ Educator

Lit-amorous, I'm on the perpetual quest to find the next amazing poem to read, savor and share. 

​​

After twenty years writing and publishing fiction, I have recently "come out" as a poet. Read recent publications here.

​​

I live in a rural community in Northern California, on Pomo ancestral lands. An East Coast native, I love mild winters, anything Jane Austen, & the raucous coast of Sonoma County.
