About me …

I grew up with my nose in a book and haven’t ever taken it out. A semifinalist for the 2019 Tillie Olsen Short Story Award and recipient of an honorable mention for the 2022 Chester B. Himes Short Fiction Prize, I move my paragraphs around the same way I do the perennials in my garden—as if they were furniture. When not writing or gardening, I’m in the kitchen working my way through a stack of cookbooks.
