Let’s have coffee

If you're ever in the Portland area, let's have coffee. I love to meet writers, creative types and word people, and I enjoy coffee (and tea) with friends and soon-to-be friends. Use the Contact tab atop this page or leave a comment under a post and I will get back to you. If you'd like to buy me a cup of coffee, please click the tip jar header at the top of any page. Thank you! Go Back to the Top of the Home Page
