About Me
I’ve been writing since I was old enough to imitate everything I love. The skirmishes of Beatrix Potter’s woodland creatures, the antics of Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig, the spooky adventures of Scooby and the gang, the missteps and angst of Judy Blume’s adolescent girls—I had my version of them all. My longest-running and most cherished labor of love, however, was my homage to the original Trixie Belden mystery series. Then I discovered that I hate plotting mysteries. I really just wanted to write about the girls and their friendships and their clashes with their families and their troubles in school and their dreams for the future and their first loves. Pretty much what I write about now.

Saw you attached to a VFX article on Avengers. Dayjob by day and writer at all other times. It caught my attention. I feel the same way.
You write on interesting subjects as well. Good to see that.

It’s tough, holding down the day job and our all-consuming calling, but we gotta do it, right?
Wow, domestic realism… I’ve never heard that before. Someone recently told me that I write “literary horror.” I think that in another 4-5 years every author will have their own genre.
I had never heard it before, either. I wonder if Contemporary Adult Fiction is a better label. For now, anyway. “Literary horror” actually sounds pretty good!

Cool bio and your picture is fun. Love the sneakers!
Thanks! I really love those sneakers.
Glad the place didn’t go during the Jojoba Caper.
Me, too! Sometimes it’s the little things.
