I was born in West Virginia but spent all of my school years in Lexington, KY. I've lived in Colorado since 1999. I'm a librarian, with a Masters degree in Library Science from the University of Illinois. I also have a Masters in English literature from the University of Kentucky. I spent a lot of time focusing on the Romantic era in grad school, though in terms of reading interest I tend to gravitate more toward Modernism and a bit of post-Modernism, depending on however one chooses to define these periods. Basically stuff written between 1920 and 1970.

I write quite a bit in the genres of science fiction, horror and literary fiction. I just go wherever my imagination takes me and try to produce the best tale that I can. Above all, I'm a great believer  in Faulkner's formulation that the human heart in conflict with itself makes for the best writing. I often prefer character and relationship studies over plot.

My favorite writers include Hemingway, Faulkner, Bradbury, Melville and Marilynne Robinson. Her novel Gilead is very much in line with my current storytelling interests.
