“Creating is living and the expression of words is what I live for.” -B.C.
About
I was born in the Great Lakes State of Michigan and raised in Kalamazoo for nearly 20 years. I left home and college at 18 to move to delicious Los Angeles. After about a year, I moved back to Michigan and eventually to Florida, where I established my writing career at Eckerd College. I attained a B.A. in Creative Writing with a focus on poetry in 2005. Writers that have contributed to my literary inspiration and craft, then and now: Ernest Hemingway, Jack Kerouac, John Keats, Edgar Allan Poe, and Jane Austen, among others.
It is the places I go in my life that give my writing its true essence. The various destinations I have visited and experienced play a supporting, yet significant role in all my leading stories of love, loss, and hope. I am grateful to continue living the life I have been granted as a writer. Besides writing and parenting, you’ll find me running, surfing, and trying not to fall down on a snowboard.
Into the Distance Between Us
Into the Distance Between Us is my first published poetry book. The book developed as a nearly 30-year, cathartic process. From Michigan to California, New York City, and beyond, it is my story of friendship, love, loss, and hope. You have to read it yourself to know what I mean.
Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and BookBaby.
