Hi! I just won the Pulitzer Prize and am definitely still in shock. Next month, I'm hiking into the backcountry to stare at my favorite river (the Rogue) for at least a week, and am pretty sure this will only start to feel real then. I'm a little overwhelmed by correspondence, so if you reach out and don't hear from me-- poke me again in a few weeks.

After almost a decade of work, Feeding Ghosts is out in the world, and I have my life back! You can buy it HERE. And here are pieces on it in The New York Times, The Stranger, SF Chronicle, LA Review of Books, Boston Globe, and The Associated Press.

I work in many different genres--often simultaneously--and know that makes my site a bit hard to navigate, so if you want to get a sense of what I do, I recommend starting with THIS multidisciplinary solo show at the Santa Cruz MAH, THIS essay about becoming "The Girl Who Bikes to Weddings," THIS comic explaining how I fell (rode?) into a side career giving illustrated lectures on female adventurers in the early 1900s, THIS comics essay about my dead friend's favorite book, THIS comic about being constructively pissed off, THIS presentation using hair ties to explain the necessity of down time in the creative process, and THIS article about how I accidentally ended up a viral comics journalist.

I'm vaguely considering starting a Substack so currently have a ghost one you can sign up for if I do go that route, and you can follow me on Instagram (though I've become something of a conscientious objector about social media, so am not on it at the moment).
