Most of my favorite activities involve words and language! In addition to writing, I work as a freelance copyeditor, helping other writers to sharpen their skills. I also love the theatre, film, and television - any vehicle for telling a good story! I have a masters degree in music and perform with a local bagpipe band, and I've held a variety of jobs over the years: short-order cook, day care provider, ice cream packer, and driver for a courier company. My published writing includes several essays on popular culture, the fantasy novel Blind Vision, and a two-volume epic fantasy novel, Moons' Dreaming and Moons' Dancing, cowritten with my good friend and New York Times bestselling author, Susan Sizemore.
