Biography
I'm an award-winning writer (poetry, journalism, songs), editor, and the leader of the indie-pop group The Corner Laughers. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, I love writing about music, theater, nature, children and families, and anything else that catches my fancy. Publications include the Palo Alto Weekly, TheSixFifty.com, Metro Silicon Valley, the Mountain View Voice, Bitch Magazine, The Bing Times, Dirigible Balloon, Little Thoughts Press, Honeyguide Literary Magazine (forthcoming), Redwood City Pulse, and the Almanac. I also contribute to other musical projects, both in the studio and in live performance, including for kids and families. I'm also available to help with press releases and PR material, ghostwriting, and freelance editing projects. I have an MA in Environmental Anthropology and a BA in Anthropology (archaeology concentration) with a minor in Italian Studies and I was voted "Most likely to hug a tree" in my high-school yearbook.

By Karla Kane Verified| Palo Alto Weekly Verified Putting the fun in function, Pacifica’s Cool Your Jets design studio creates playful bookends, eye-catching lighting options and more. The brand is the brainchild of Danyel LaTour, who’s long been very interested in the elements of home design and decor – “the things that surround us, how we make those choices,” as she put it. Cool Your Jets’ goods are “things that I want to put in my house and things I want to give my friends,” she said.
By Karla Kane Verified| Palo Alto Weekly Verified Living in California, the possibility of catastrophic fire is never too far from many residents’ minds. But what if there was a way to build homes so that the risk of fire was much lower while also lessening the environmental impact that contributes to climate change in the first place? According to South Bay resident and engineer Manmohan Mahal, the materials and technology exist, and now is the time to start using them in residential construction.
