I’ve been telling stories ever since I was a child, but it was not until adulthood that I realized I wanted to pursue a career in writing. After I earned degrees in English and film studies, I went on to get an MA in literature and an MFA in fiction writing. I’ve been a professor of creative writing, British literature, and composition for several years.
My first novel, Just Beyond the Shining River , was my MFA thesis and is the product of extensive research and time spent in England. Three study abroad trips gave me the opportunity to live as a Londoner and to get an ear for British dialect and nuances. This book was a Goldie finalist for best debut novel in 2018.
As a longstanding member of the International Virginia Woolf Society, I’ve presented papers at conferences in the US and the UK. My stories and essays have appeared in a number of publications.
