Life, Unadulterated

Delightful musings on writing, reading and living the creative life

I frequently write about the books I read and the role they play in shaping my life as a writer, reader, and mother.

I used to send a newsletter, Monthly Missives from The Dream Pedlar, on the last Sunday of every month, with heartfelt updates on my writing life, book recommendations, short fiction and/or poems, and occasional surprises!

I have temporarily paused it since June 2026 in response to this wonderful life and its demands. If/When I resume it, you'll be the first to know!

If you're curious, past newsletters can be found here!
