WHO AM I?

 Such a question! 

Here are a few insufficient answers.

I am an American writer living in Canada. This tends to make me feel alternately continental and displaced.

I was born during a mid-winter flu epidemic and  grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, with Laura Ingalls' braids, glasses, asthma and allergies. A loner and bookworm, I related to the rosy-cheeked, shawl-wrapped consumptives I found in plays and literature and my best childhood friends included Bilbo, Mary Lennox, Jo March, Puck, Smike and the Wart.

I studied theater at the Cleveland Playhouse, Northwestern University and The Chautauqua Institute and have played many roles, including the female lead in several Gilbert and Sullivan operettas.

I am currently pursuing a Masters in Writing at Johns Hopkins University and an ALM in Creative Writing and Literature at Harvard Extension School. I am also working on a high fantasy, inspired by late Dark Age/early Middle Age British society and culture.

Thank you!
