I am a writer and passionate reader of literary fiction, and have been since I was a child.

As a young mother, I wrote while my children napped, and had some early success getting short stories published. I then began working on novels, which has been a solitary occupation and so far fruitless, at least in terms of publication.

The Internet has been a boon to me: This blog gives me an outlet to publish every day; the discipline to keep my writing focused; and a growing audience that actually responds to me.
