I’m a full-time playwright writing (primarily) full-length plays. They all have strong women characters. My full-length plays—SISTER’S KEEPER, IS IT OVER YET?, DEATH VALLEY, CAMP WONDER, MOTHER YUCCA, LIMESTONE CITY, DADDY DUSTBALL, BABY BRAIN, SAY YES TO TOOTLEBRITCHES, THE MIND HAS LEGS, and REMEMBERING MACKIE LANDERSON—are on the New Play Exchange (along with some shorter plays). I’ve had short plays produced in several states. I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I’m a member of the Dramatists Guild, Playwrights Circle (Albuquerque), Playwrights’ Platform (Boston), Playwrights en Masse (Lowell, Mass.), Alliance of Los Angeles Playwrights, and International Centre for Women Playwrights.

MORE ABOUT ME:
If I could bring one change to theater, it would be: more focus on producing plays by and about women. Women have made advances in the literary fiction world (which used to be dominated by men; women were relegated to genre fiction). Maybe it's time for women to make similar advances in the theater world. 

WHAT I'M WORKING ON:
Primarily: Writing a new full-length play called THE BOOK OF LEXIE involving the themes of abortion, rape, motherhood, New Ageism, Christian Evangelicism, and genealogy. Next major project: turning MOTHER YUCCA into a novel.
