about me
I've had a series of interesting and not so interesting jobs from prying apart frozen hamburgers with chisels (not mind-engaging, but my wrist flexion improved tremendously) to lugging animal bodies to the basement of a vet's office to be frozen -- they were incinerated in bulk. I've taught ESL and Spanish and now co-own and operate a doggie daycare / boarding kennel with my husband.
But none of these jobs made my heart sing like writing.
I wrote my first novel, a Choose Your Own Adventure, in sixth grade. Since then I've had various other efforts and distracted myself long enough with short stories to earn an MFA in creative writing. Getting Rid of Chickens is the first novel I've completed.
I return all reads and I comment when I feel I have something useful to offer. If I missed your book, my sincerest apologies. Please send me a reminder.
Many thanks to Bradley Wind for the lovely cover design.
