Currently shopping my literary fiction novel Gray Salt for publication.

I am a born and bred southern girl who grew up reading Toni Morrison, Archie Comics, Christopher Pike, Octavia Butler and Stephen King. And I am a writer (YA and literary fiction, weird mix I know but it is what it is). It has taken time for me to accept this as who I am, to know it and share it without worrying that it is not enough, that my title should be longer or corporate or recognizable, that there is some fallacy of claiming 'author' as a testament only to books stored on my computer. It means in some ways that I am impractical, that I am a dreamer, that I expect I could be choosing to live a life that amounts to nothing more than unread manuscripts and a perceived waste of time, but it means that I am also choosing to be happy.
