I live in Cleveland Heights, Ohio with my family and three Chihuahua mixes. When I'm not writing, I'm quilting, reading, and endlessly trying to improve my house. (Flooring? Sure, I can lay flooring!  How hard can it be?) I'm the daughter of a professor and a film historian, and I grew up seeing a lot of movies. I am also proud to teach short story writing at Louisville, Kentucky's Young Writers Workshop.

In addition to being a writer, I'm also a visual artist. Visit the "Art" page under "More" to see some of my collages and quilts.
