About me:
I am a writer from NYC who lives with my bulldog, Duncan. I'm a down to earth gal with an irreverent sense of humor and a desire to lead a life that is ripe with discovery, color, travel, and truth. And maybe inspire a little gossip. I have a fondness for Bettie Page, pulp novels, irony, Edward Hopper, dark dive bars, "This American Life" people-watching, Modigliani, John Register, Sailor Jerry, great movies, great books, great music, anything that opens my eyes and razzes by berries. I work as a writer and editor. I have written and edited for several magazines, and subscribed to dozens--I have the tote bags to prove it. I currently have two short stories ("Jesus In The Driveway" and "Pillowcase") published in an anthology entitled "Falling From The Sky" by Another Sky Press (www.anothersky.org). I am finishing my first book--a collection of short stories. When I am not writing, I am usually listening to my iPod too loud, up too late at night, up to something, making merry, daydreaming, reading, or walking my pooch (literally-that's not a metaphor).
