Elder millennial born and raised and forever living in the wonderful Northwest. I write a lot, swim a lot, and get clever about getting good books into the hands of the right humans. I know more about whales than most people, a fact which delights me and makes me a great asset for cetacean-specific trivia if nothing else.A longtime creative with extensive writing, marketing, bookkeeping, and project/office/event management experience, my work history is vast and varied. I really wouldn't have it any other way. When I'm not marketing books or working on finishing my own, I'm probably swimming in cold water, painting, reading, working weekends at the local artists collective I co-founded in my little mountain town, or hiking to alpine lakes with my partner Matt and our adventure pup Toya (so I can swim in them). Four times a year I help organize fundraising trail races as part of Endless Trails—a small but mighty nonprofit I help manage for Northwest trail conservation.
