I am a writer, runner and mother with a lifelong passion of books. The books I have on my shelf are those that are in my home in stacks and stacks all over the house, with exception to those on my "wish list". I shamelessly added books I enjoy reading to my children over and over.

Recently completed my first draft of an historical fiction novel, though I suspect my children will be in college by the time it's fully edited. I have spent 16 years in advertising and public relations working for various agencies in Los Angeles, Washington D.C. and Seattle.

I adore English Literature, which was my major in college and it has really only been these last twenty years that I have widened my scope to include American authors like Faulkner, Twain, Fitzgerald, Steinbeck and Hemingway. « less
