edit data

I am a technical writer in computer software and biotechnology.

In 1993, I won first prize in a national magazine’s short-story writing contest for which Ray Bradbury and Robert Bloch were judges, an award which held special meaning, as Bloch remains my favorite writer and main literary influence. I have had essays, articles and reviews printed in a variety of publications, including FilmFax, Mad About Movies and Monsters From The Vault. Additionally, I contributed to the book Peter Cushing: Midnight Marquee Actor Series (2004.)

A long-time community activist, I am particularly committed to the causes of animal rescue and breast cancer research. I live with my husband in the historic harbor town of Marblehead, MA.

Now Available: my collection of horror short-short fiction

Setting pride aside, I'm asking for your support on this project. I'm proud of this collection and of course I want it to be successful. Writing a complete story in only 100 WORDS is not easy. A Read more of this blog post »
