About me

Gender Female
Location Austin, Texas
Introduction After teaching 7th grade for thirteen years, I hung up my overhead projector and started writing full time. My poems and short stories have appeared in the Texas Poetry Calendar, Literary Juice, and other publications, and I am currently working on a novel. I have learned, however, that "working on a novel" can also look a lot like blogging, walking the dog, reading books, or even vacuuming the house. (It's a complicated process, to say the least.) I live in south Austin with my husband and pets.
