About me

Gender Female
Occupation writer
Location Wyoming, United States
Introduction I am the author of Skin Deep: tattoos, the disappearing West, very bad men, and my deep love for them all (Harcourt, 2003). I have worked as a tattoo artist, photographer, horse wrangler, salvage-yard car crusher, temp, waitress, and phone-sex operator. I have bootlegged liquor on accident, driven a getaway car on purpose, and played cribbage at gunpoint (best two out of three). I am on the faculty of the Jackson Hole Writers Conference, and I teach at Central Wyoming College.
