Writer, singer, wife, mother, tennis player, and candy aficionada. I am a graduate of the University of Iowa's Writers' Workshop, and formerly worked as a journalist, editor, teacher, and training coordinator for volunteer literacy tutors.

I am thrilled that my new novel, Just the Facts, was published by She Writes Press on September 8, 2015. My previous novel, Monkeys on the Bed, was published in 2002.
