I received my Master’s in English and then taught American Literature and Freshman Composition at the university level. After a few years, I decided to pursue what I really loved—my writing—so I shelved my grade-book for good and pursued an MFA in Creative Writing from The Newport MFA at Salve Regina University.

I have completed a novel-length manuscript entitled The Seer, about a young psychic in late 1890s Missouri who uses her gift to help abused women. I'm currently working on my second novel, this one with a dual timeline. 

Besides being a writer, I'm an avid reader, book hoarder, world traveler, amateur nature photographer, and collector of cool rocks.
