Bio

I’m indie author, freelance writer, yoga teacher, and native Coloradan. Specializing in food, health and the arts, my freelance features have appeared in top-notch regional publications like the Denver Post, Boulder Weekly and Boulder Magazine. I’ve reviewed restaurants (Colorado Springs Gazette, 2011-2012) as well as exercise classes (Boulder Daily Camera), and even trained as a contributor for NPR affiliate KRCC.

My passion, however, has always been for fiction. My short stories have been Pushcart Prize-nominated and my first novel, Transference, was a finalist for the 2017 BookLife Prize. I write across and between several genres — science fiction, literary fiction, satire, dystopia — and on good days see my style as a fusion of Margaret Atwood and Amy Schumer. In other words, I love words both multisyllabic and four-lettered, and I’m afraid to use neither.

Passionate about story in all its forms, I also wrote and published The Dictionary of Fiction Critique, edit short-story anthologies, and teach fiction and meditation for writers at conferences and retreats.
