I write novels, short stories, and essays.

My work can be seen in Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, PANK, Literary Hub, Joyland, and Monkeybicycle. I am the founding editor of Goreyesque, an online literary journal featuring work inspired by the spirit and aesthetic of Edward Gorey. Goreyesque has readers and contributors from around the world. I am a freelance editor for publishers and indivuals and a former instructor in the English Department at Columbia College Chicago.

I draw inspiration from dreams, experiences, absurd humor, and anything that mixes these elements in a literary context. I have written fiction, in one form or another, since age six. 

I have an MFA in Creative Writing from Columbia College Chicago, and I worked in marketing and PR for over fifteen years. I currently live in Chicago.
