Grew up in New Mexico. Graduated with an English degree from U.C. Berkeley, then wisely joined a rock band. Toured the US and Canada until it gave me a headache, then settled down in Oakland, CA to play music with my husband in sketchy local venues, raise our fantastic son, and write fiction.

"“Kids are mirrors, reflecting back everything that happens to them. You’ve got to make sure they’re surrounded by good things.”
