I’m a fiction writer who likes to mix it up occasionally with a little poetry and nonfiction. My story “Wings Raised Up” won the Alligator Juniper National Fiction Award and was nominated for a 2012 Pushcart Prize. Other stories and essays have been published in Midway Journal, Farallon Review, Stone’s Throw Magazine, Quality Fiction, Dogwood Journal, The Express and other journals. During my MFA program at the University of San Francisco, I was nominated for Best New American Voices (Mariner Books). I’ve taught writing at UC Berkeley since 2007, and live just south of campus with my husband and thirteen-year old son.
You can read some of my work on the “Awards and Publications” page. I’d love to hear what you think.
