Autorenporträt
I was born in a lightning storm, the heavens themselves opened up that fateful Friday the 13th -- no, too dramatic.It was a brisk September day -- no, too boring.I didn't ask for the curse of the redhead, but it was given to me regardless -- no, save that line for a future character.Look. I'm a writer who can't write a biography, okay? There, I admitted it. I like pumpkin pie, paper crafts, bicycling, tomfoolery, shenanigans, and all things corny.I've loved literature for what feels like eons. I think in sentences. My happiest place is either couch, or couch, or writing. I feel like less of a writer and more of a vessel.My first novel, Stockings Required, was born in 2013. I thought I was done with novel writing. But as it turns out, 10 years later, I am releasing Book 1 of a cozy adventure trilogy.If I go bicycling past you, shout my name and I'll ring my bell.
