Just your regular run-of-the-mill maladjusted, employment-seeking, post-graduate millennial. I was a navy brat; born in Charleston, South Carolina. Hurricane Hugo destroyed our home, and we moved to Kings Bay, Georgia, then Greenville, then parents divorced, then Myrtle Beach, then back to Greenville. Became a writer whenever my father moved to Colorado. We were pen pals; I learned the pen was my pal. I grew up, did ok in school, went to an ok college, majored in English. |
Biographer, mostly. Also love short stories, poetry, and writing about food. When I was 15, I wanted to be a food critic. |
I strive to become the amalgam of Sedaris, Sandra Cisneros, Pat Conroy, J. M. Coetzee, Edwidge Danticat, and Sue Monk Kidd. |
Organic food, ballet, online education, helping others, physics, marijuana (I write for Greenleaf Magazine), solar energy, the future of the book, starting over, music, the cosmos, art, hiking, doing what's right for you. |
