Short Bio:
A writer / editor in the Arizona desert, working on a coming-of-age novel set at a Phoenix swap meet in 1980.
I call Tucson home, but right now I'm living in Phoenix--the place where people go to disappear. I am not trying to disappear, though. I have an MFA in both fiction and creative non-fiction writing and an MPA in non-profit management. I'm working on combining the two degrees into a non-profit for aspiring writers with my co-conspirators, Renee Bibby and Lela Scott MacNeil.
Currently, I run a novel critique group in Tucson and a group to sustain writing goals in Phoenix, and am making a living as a freelance editor. Most often, I work with first-time authors who have strong scientific backgrounds, who have interesting stories and characters, but are working through the process of how to get that on paper effectively.
