Biography

I'm an author and the president of Aphrodite's Apples Press. You can find my debut novel, Immortal Reveries there. It's a vampire novel that combines my love of English history, ancient Gaelic culture and mythos, and the South. I am currently working on its follow up, Strange Days. Once upon a time I was a schoolteacher and a speech-language pathologist, but I'm writing full-time now. I have strong opinions on education and the rights of people with disabilities. I do lay advocacy work for children with disabilities and their families, mostly related to our screwy "free and appropriate education" and what some think passes for "appropriate." I'm also happily married and the mother of two children. Finally, I am a grown-up(?) Goth and not afraid to show it.
