  • Contact Form & Comments

    This website has been a real piece of work. I’ve had trouble getting it to work properly since day one and instead of decorating my apartment for Christmas tonight I got distracted after getting my vintage ornaments on the tree and sat down to fix my contact form and comments.…

  • My Name on Your Lips

    My Name on Your Lips

    My name on your lips I want to taste my name on your lips, to kiss you, as you whisper it. It’s my favorite thing – to hear you say it – as if it’s new somehow. My heart is new somehow. There are moments when I see your vulnerability…

    Everything makes sense again. But it took nearly a year before it did. Kurt simply left. No fanfare. No argument. No conversation. He was gone – just like that. All the shit he brought into my life, was left there for me to clean out and clean up. How like…

  • The Love We Both Deserve

  • Stories from a Wild Heart

    I’m a writer. I’m a writer that doesn’t write like I dream of writing. Why? Because to do so requires me to release my hang-ups and people-pleasing tendencies. I also happened to have a day job for 13-years, that required me to act as a spokesperson and to be the…

  • Excuse the Dust – Site Under Construction

    I’ve finally settled (for now – haha) on what I’m doing with this space and my Substack newsletter. I’ve spent some time today updating this site and will resume updates over the next week. For now, forgive the dust while the site is under construction. – EM
