ill-behaved?

Yes.

Even as a grandma who has been drug and alcohol free for 29 years, I claim this title as a lover of good story who knows the healing power of a tale well told.

And frankly, because history is already littered with the untold stories of women.

Ill-Behaved Women is a newsletter and a community. You’ll get emails from me once or twice a month about the women I uncover in my research, as well as stories of women making headlines now, book, TV & film recos, and my occasional takes on topics by, for, and about women and people who identify as such.

I’ll also offer storytelling craft tips as well as giveaways and sale offers.

      I’m a story coach, an award-winning screenwriter and author whose life and work as an expat in Asia became the basis of two memoirs, including the just-released, Blissful Thinking and American Lady Creature.

      A syndicated columnist, essayist and culture writer, my work has appeared everywhere from the Wasthington Post to The Rumpus.

      I’m also a live, on-air guest host for the Home Shopping Network, and run a monthly storytelling show.
