In my life before writing,  I earned a BS in microbiology
from the University of Pittsburgh and worked as a mad scientist. I currently hold a Master of Fine Arts in Writing Popular Fiction from Seton Hill University. 
I enjoy reading mystery,  fantasy,  urban fantasy,  thriller,  slipstream,  horror,  romance,  and some sci fi. I also have a love for nonfiction,  particularly travel memoirs (I live vicariously),  true crime,  and medical/science stories. 
You can find my short story,  "Black Bird, " in Dark Moon Books' anthology MISTRESSES OF THE MACABRE. My debut novel,  HABEAS CORPSE,  released from Blood Bound Books in November 2013.
