<p>Who am I? I'm a wrangler of words and a keeper of family stories. I'm powered by God & good coffee. My favorite book will always be Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier (and has been since I was in the eighth grade.) I'm in love with the Oxford Comma. I'm hopelessly addicted to having my heart ripped out by BBC dramas. I love to insert references to history, pop culture, and humor into my writing and conversation. I currently have purple hair. I believe Joss Whedon can strike creative lightning at whim.</p><p>I write character-driven stories about strong women - some broken and some recovered, but all strong.</p><p>Check out my debut novel, <em>Finding Eliza</em>, as well as my contribution to the short fiction collection, <em>Shutter Step</em>.</p>
