I have performed most jobs short of smelting tar. A recovering attorney, I am a full-time writer, storyteller, evolving ukulele player, distance runner, yoga teacher, and shameless Francophile. I only legally took my “married” name post-divorce (explain THAT to the lady at the DMV) and run 26.2 miles on my days off for fun. An amateur triathlete who is viscerally afraid of open-water swimming, I am a hopeless romantic who works every day to live my openhearted truth. One day, I aspire to be the world’s first and leggiest 5’2” Rockette.#GOALSMy work has been published in American Chess Magazine, Suspect Press, Elephant Journal, and Rebelle Society. My essay, Fizzy Death, Brilliant Life was chosen for the national production “Listen to Your Mother,” and featured in “The Forum Stories, Process.” Speaking engagements include The Mizel Theater, McNichols Building, and Civic Center Park in Denver, as well as Justice Snow’s Salon in Aspen, Colorado.I reside in Denver, Colorado on Hijinks Farms (the name I gave my backyard to feel more like a farmer), where I raise two teenagers, six chickens, two cats, and an appropriate amount of trouble."Great Love Stories Include a Frenchman" is my debut novel.
