beacon quarterly

My interview with Beacon Quarterly is live. I talked with Kailla Coomes about my writing process, growing up in the Mojave Desert, and my new essay, “From the Meth Lab to the Red Carpet” that’s featured in Issue 13. I share how I’ve used the uncertainty and craziness of this year to focus on my craft by taking writing classes with Trust and Travel and Catapult. At the end of the interview, I share a discount code for Beacon readers who are interested in the second edition of the From the Dust.
