This is my story
I come from a family of storytellers.
My librarian grandmother, psychologist aunts, and bookworm brother, would sit around the dinner table for hours — because of the stories.
Such as how my aunts’ orange VW Rabbit broke down during Thanksgiving weekend on The Grapevine on the way from Santa Cruz to Los Angeles and my grandparents came to meet them with their van and then the van broke down too. So they all slept in the van until a stranger knocked on the door and asked if they needed some coffee — and gas.
That sense of place and human connection is a thread whether I’m creating and editing content, teaching writing or even getting lost in the world as a travel writer. It just takes one cinematic scene to make a great story.
