There's Room on the Porch

---

Seeking Lesbian Elders for an Anthology

Gen X • Boomer • Silent Generation

I’m interviewing lesbians who are willing to share their stories—big or small. 

I’m looking for: 

• everyday survival and resilience 

• falling in love 

• coming out 

• finding or building community 

• life before social media & the internet

As a rural lesbian, I often feel the absence of elders to look up to. I want this book to feel like the conversations held on porches and around kitchen tables—filled with wisdom, humor, heartbreak, and hope.

Your stories can help guide those who don’t have a community to lean on.

My first passion project, Lavender & Lilies highlights the big emotions we go through as we perfect the art of discovering oneself. From love to grief to self-actualization, poetry and prose walks through these seasons of life.

Anticipated release in 2026
