: About Me

Greetings!

My first book, Tales From a Goth Librarian, was published through Kerlak Publishing early 2009. The book is a collection of short stories ranging from dark and spooky to Steampunk to psychological thriller. The book also features bad but humourous Goth Poetry!

The book was recently awarded as a Finalist for USA Book News Contest 2009 - Literature & Fiction: Short Story, and is currently nominated for a Darrell Award, the regional sci-fi and fantasy literary award.

My poetry chapbook, Rusty Typewriter, was published through FootHills Publishing in 2007 and other poems have recently been published through Sam's Dot Publishing.

I am also the Editor for the upcoming Steampunk Anthology that will be published through Kerlak Publishing as a well as a member of the Horror Writers Association.

Thank you and have a good night!

My passion is ...

living my life to the fullest

I know too much about ...

obscure historical moments

My parents always told me ...

to think carefully before making a decision

My childhood ambition ...

was to be an archaeologist

My favorite memory ...

was going to the library on Saturdays with my mother

Why I write ...

because I have too many stories inside of me!

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

The Talented Miss Highsmith by Joan Schenkar

My first job ...

working for Burger King

My best moment ...

finding out my first book would be published

My inspiration ...

to live the life of a full time writer
