About me.
I'm a highly educated, fly by the seat of my pants kind of writer.
I love to experiment with various art forms, especially writing. I live in London for now, but America is where I'm from. I've been writing and editing full-time for the past three years. (Yikes. Can it be three years already?) I do contract editing of novels and such for Flourish Editing. If you need an editor, check us out here. I'm newly the acquisitions editor at Ghostwoods Books. I want to change the world. Who doesn't, right? |

FAQ.
Ask me stuff. I'll put my fave questions and answers right here.
What interests you when writing fiction?
I'm a bit of a weirdo, I think. I have a really hard time finding books I love. I need just the right combination of lovely, well-written prose, and surprises. I like magic, but only a little magic. I feel like I'm looking for the perfect book every time I go looking for one. So that's what I want to write, too. That book. The one that if I found it on the shelf, I'd go, YES! Oh my god, this is it.

Is it true you're a direct descendant of Tatiana, the Fairy Queen?
If I am, it has been kept a secret from me my entire life. It would explain a few things, though.

What's your favorite thing to read when you're not editing?
I can't say that I have one specific thing that I love to read. I'm like the weather. Wait ten minutes and I'll like something different. I like novelty.

Do you like Hammocks? What's your favo/u/rite fruit? Can you curl your tongue? Have you ever seen a ghost? What's your PIN?
I thought I'd like hammocks, but it turns out they are not very comfortable. The ropes dig in. My favorite fruit is cherry. I can curl my tongue. That's a genetic trait, which is kind of weird and awesome. Have I ever seen a ghost? Yes. I think I have. Two ghosts, actually. They were two girls, identical. I thought at first they were someone's legs coming down the basement stairs, until they got down there far enough that their heads were visible. A few seconds later they were gone. My PIN is ... waitaminnit!

Which is more important to you: book sales or critical acclaim?
I prefer acclaim but sales will help me write more books. It's hard to choose. Hopefully they come together. Sales, I think, are easier to get. But I could be so very wrong.
