About this author

I am a writer, copy editor, lazy photographer, and mom of four living in the Great White North. Originally from Portland, Oregon, in 2002 I relocated from Los Angeles to the suburbs of Vancouver, BC, with my Canadian husband and miniature humans. I studied English, political science, and criminology through Washington State University, as well as copy and substantive editing (2005-06) through Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. In 2007 I was a member of the eight-person fiction cohort of SFU's one-year intensive, the Writer’s Studio.

Represented by Daniel Lazar at Writers House.

" Reading that blurb up above doesn't make this book sound as serious and involved as it really is. It makes it sound like a fun read filled with glitz, glamour, and a little bit of mystery. And it is ALL of those things. But it is also so much more... " Read more of this review »
