A few weeks ago, I was standing on the wind-swept dunes of the Sahara Desert, near the dunes of Merzouga. And now, this last weekend, I was sipping a gin and tonic, watching the sunset on the Catalina Mountains outside of Tucson, at the Westin Palomar.

Two completely different deserts, two completely different cultures. Which is better, which is more haunting, more beautiful? They are both equally so, in their own, unique ways. But one thing I have to say, I couldn’t find a gin and tonic in the Sahara. The sunsets, however, were no less glorious.

In Tucson, I went to get certified as a TRX instructor.

In the Sahara I was working with kids in the village on the MY WORLD PROJECT.  And now I am back in LA, wondering where I will head next and for what purpose.

Leave your mark in the sand.

I am, more than anything, a Traveler, always seeking new ways to learn and grow. Especially in these challenging times, I am a passionate advocate of free speech. The practice of martial arts is a way of life for me. I am the co-founder of InsideOUT Writers, a creative writing program for incarcerated youth, and the founder of the MY WORLD PROJECT, connecting youth in remote areas through art and writing. I'm happiest living out of a suitcase and seeing where the next step in my journey will take me. For the past three years that has meant living in Luxor, Egypt, where I started the first boxing club for girls on the West Bank. I'm the author of numerous children's books and essays, as well as the Urban Fantasy series NIGHT ANGELS CHRONICLES. This year sees publication of my sci-fi/dark fantasy work, FIREFLY LANE, with Terror House Press. At the moment, I'm riding out this pandemic in Phoenix, but who can say where tomorrow will take me.
