^{Hi again! In case you're curious...}

I was born in a small Massachusetts town... ok, flash forward.

I loved to write. To transform the hummingbird ideas in my head into the world (aka my bedroom).

Onto high school. Favorite subjects: English and art.

Next stop: New Haven (BA in English & Theater).

Onto not-so-sunny California (MFA in Writing from the University of San Francisco). That fog!

Fiction and non-fiction awards/publications followed.

Whether I’m shaping a deeply personal story or collaborating with marketing partners, I’m always chasing the same thing: language that lands, connects, and lingers.

Oh, and the pic up there? 

That's Penelope (aka Lil P). Diva, fur baby, inspiration. She's a Shih Tzu rescue who went from the streets of LA to a San Francisco shelter to me.

... and yes, Lil P supervises every draft.
