Now in my fifth year of playwriting, I have written 25 plays. . While I have done some travelling, my most compelling and important journeys have been within myself and for my community. This incloues12 years as a hotline worker; assisting thousands of callers in crisis, including those actively considering suicide. These experiences have given me unique, often firsthand experience with the panoply of human desires, human frailties, and human tragedy— as well as the amazing healing and possibilities for growth and new life that occur when people come together with Spirit.
