About Me

I have published short stories in Southwest Review, Room of One's Own, and recently got placed in the top 10 finalists in a Glimmer Train fiction contest.

Why do you write?

the other acts, except cooking food for my child from scratch, don't have meaning, true meaning to me, as writing does.

Any favorite authors? Books?
