About Me
I hold a BA in Creative Writing from Cleveland State University and am currently a graduate student in the Fiction Writing MFA program at Columbia College Chicago. I have appeared as feature reader in shows such as Grinder, the Bailiwick Theatre, Story Studio Chicago's Writers Read, and Columbia College Chicago's Readings In The Raw series. An excerpt from my first novel, Rough House, will appear in the Summer 2007 issue of Harrington Lesbian Literary Quarterly (HLLQ). I have had poems selected for publication in both
Wavelength and Rhino and essays published in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Time Out Magazine, and The Chicago Reader. My short stories have appeared in The Vindicator, The Cauldron, WIM, The First Line Magazine, and Columbia College Chicago's Story Week Reader 2007. I live in Chicago with my partner, Sherry, and am currently working on my second novel.
