I live
in central Kentucky out in the country, on the side of a hill going down to
a river. My daughter and I live by the garden of my story, Gnome Harvest.
I work
professionally as a web developer. I have developed multiple websites and
have written on technical topics related to web design. Gnome Harvest was my
first attempt at a fiction novel.
I've
always written off and on, and in the nineties I was involved in the
international mail art scene, originating and published the Global Mail
newsletter for five years. During this time, I also published multiple zines.
I have an MFA in the visual arts.
I love
to combine internal and external conflicts in my character driven stories. I
enjoy writing fantasy because it sets me free to create my own universe and
characters, apart from how they might appear in nature.
I belong
to the Eagle Creek Writers' Group in Lexington, KY, and Online Writing
Workshop for Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror. In the past, I have been
a member of Writers Village and Critters Workshop.
