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.
