About this author

There is this running joke among my friends and family that the next time someone asks me where I am from, I will answer with the name of some distant exotic locale, such as Sumatra, or Timbuktu.

I was born in Rhode Island in 1970. The child of a U.S. Naval officer, I moved around a bit until I ended up in New Haven, Connecticut where I grew up.

Description: I wrote this story for the NPR 3 Minute Fiction contest. There was a 600 word limit. It was an excellent exercise to flesh out a character who will be center stage in a novel in progress.
An Unproductive Woman (Literature & Fiction)

Description: After ten years of marriage, Asabe and Adam remain childless. Fueled by desperation and a long held secret, Adam marries a second wife.
