I'm originally from Chicago, but now live in Wildberg, Germany, with my husband and son. Living in a foreign country and learning a new language have been both rewarding and frustrating. When someone asks me "How is your German?" I tell them very simply, "It's functional." My foreign language skills could be better, but I'd rather apply what I know best to what I enjoy doing best: writing--in


Background Information

Stephen King has had the greatest impact on me. Not for the content of his books (which are great fun in any case), but for the simplicity and imaginative quality of his language alone. Not to mention he always makes me laugh out loud. Picking up a Stephen King book is for me like slipping into a favorite pair of jeans. Other authors who have had an impact on me are John Irving for his very honest, very human portraits; Laurell K. Hamilton for her humor and casual tone; and Anita Shreve for simplicity and a truly beautiful writing voice. I value simplicity in storytelling higher than anything else, I think, and I continually strive to achieve that quality in my own work. ...Except in e-mail!

Accomplishments

Bachelor's English Lit., Loyola Univeristy Chicago.
Former Editorial Production Manager, Farm Progress Magazines.
Former Assistant Music Director, Bristol Renaissance Faire, Kenosha, Wisconsin--4 seasons.
Former member of recorder duet, Tabardyn, Bristol Renaissance Faire, Kenosha Wisconsin--6 seasons

Additional Information

Working at the Bristol Ren Faire was probably the most rewarding experience I've ever had. I played music I loved for six seasons with two different partners, and alongside some very phenomenal musicians. The actors are talented, dedicated, wonderful people from all walks of life, and I met so many people whose faces I now miss terribly. Here's a health to the company...
