Kindergarten teacher turned kick-ass fiction writer

I was nineteen when I wrote my first novel: WEB OF LOVE: 200+ pages of pirates and heaving breasts. I'm proud of my accomplishment. Right now, it's nestled in the back of my bedroom closet behind my tennis shoes.

Good place for it. :)

Slight lag twixt that first novel and my second. First, a five-year, on-and-off stint w/ Chrysler Corp. working on various assembly lines; then, four-plus years of college earning a BFA degree; then, ten years working as a graphic artist; then, four more years of college pursuant of a State of Michigan teaching certificate, followed by seven years of teaching little kids whilst simultaneously earning a Master of Arts in Education–

*pause for deep breath*

–and then, just when everything was looking so hunky-dory, I tumbled off a small wooden chair and effectively ended my teaching career. Little did I know, a new chapter in my life was about to be written. Title? ‘Serious Novelist’.

Serious novels written to date: 6, including my novella SOMEBODY KNOWS SOMETHING.
