After practicing psychiatry for many years, reading and writing fiction became the perfect escape from spending much of her time inside the minds of very real people.

Over the years, her travels have led her to Asia, South and Central America, Antarctica, Europe, and Africa, and allowed her imagination to wander into areas of adventure and mystery. Disastrous world events led her to darker thoughts about the world she loves to explore and to wonder about acts of desperation, as well as one’s ability to discover hidden courage, in the face of despair. She wrote Rubbing Stones, her debut novel, and is currently working on a second novel, a murder mystery on a psychiatric unit.

“For me, the best thing about Cyberpunk is that it taught me how to enjoy shopping malls, which used to terrify me. Now I just imagine the whole thing is two miles below the moon’s surface, and that half the people’s right-brains have been eaten by roboticized steel rats. And suddenly it’s interesting again.”
Rudy Rucker

“People don't look for revenge to make them happy. They do it because they must.”
Natalie C. Anderson, City of Saints & Thieves

“Hope is a horrible thing, you know. I don't know who decided to package hope as a virtue because it's not. It's a plague. Hope is like walking around with a fishhook in your mouth and somebody just keeps pulling it and pulling it.”
Ann Patchett, State of Wonder

“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”
Stephen Jay Gould, The Panda's Thumb: More Reflections in Natural History

“Because they want to be able to tell someone things they can’t tell anyone else, things they’re ashamed of.”
