About Me

I was born in Mountain Home, Idaho, in March of 1980.  I spent six years on a beautiful 250 acre farm in Dayton, Washington, and the next twenty in the Boise, Idaho, area.  I am currently located in Warren, Maine.

My “real life” goal is to become a novelist and to write Speculative Fiction.  I began writing when I was eleven and knew that it was what I wanted.  I have a Bachelors of Arts in Writing from Boise State University.  I began my current book when I was sixteen, and have spent the years since honing my craft.  Sadly, you can’t get experience without experience, and several versions – and a thousand discarded pages – later, I’m plugging away at the final incarnation.

Cardigans are my other love, and Golem was the first object of my affection. I fell for his dark blue color and bright points the day he was born. GoGo turned out to be a perfect first show dog, though he certainly spoiled me.  He finished quickly, and I was hooked.

I dabble in photography and art, and love music, nature, and science.  I have worked in the restaurant industry since 1999.
