: About Me

My first short story was about a character named Link from the video game The Legend of Zelda that I wrote when I was 6 or 7 and since then I've developed a niche for short stories.

In college, I took a few writing courses, even landing a short story publication in the campus annual literary magazine. My focus centers around real events, serious or comical, that unveil issues about me or others that tell us about our culture or human behaivor.

Besides writing, I'm a twenty-something Midwestern mother of three and wife of one.
