About me

Gender Female
Industry Education
Location Denver, Colorado, United States
Introduction From the time I was 7, all I ever wanted to be was a writer. Real life intervened, sometimes smothering yet never completely killing the dream. By day I work for a college, take care of my child, laugh with my husband and friends and play with my pets. In the wee hours, I try to be an author, a dreamer, to be only myself - unfettered by responsibilities and expectations.
Interests reading and writing fiction (especially YA), SCBWI children's book authors' group, knitting, finding time to read write and knit; politics-like wondering how much damage one person(s) can do to a country in 7 years (way too much)
Favorite Movies Amelie, Cinema Paradiso, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Love Actually, Benny and Joon, Across the Universe
Favorite Music '80's new wave and punk, The Who, old jazz like Charlie Parker and Billy Holiday, new stuff......there is always a soundtrack to my life playing in my mind
Favorite Books A Prayer for Owen Meany, Love in the Time of Cholera (before Oprah discovered it!), The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Luna, Pride and Prejudice...hundreds more
