| Introduction | I'm a Stumptown-based writer who spends my days writing training materials for various companies and my nights racing pell-mell across the keyboard after my rampaging imagination. I write novel-length stories with occasional forays into shorter fiction, and I write for young adults, except for when I don't. I have a BA in creative writing (I BS everything else), and I haunt bookstores for fun. My current writing project is a young adult novel about a girl on the grift. Non-writing interests include volunteering at a horse-therapy program for autistic children and learning the fine art of parenting from my newborn daughter.
