Brief Introduction |
I am a freelance editor, writer, and stay-at-home
mother of a young toddler. I have recently published my first
novel and my first collection of poetry. I also
continue to publish my poetry in numerous periodicals. Read on for a list of my
publication credits and for additional background on my education. |
