I grew up in Waukegan, Illinois and upstate New York. My earliest memories are of re-imagining favorite cartoons on paper and inventing my own. I have a husband, three kids, and a ridiculous number of pets. I read adventure fantasy, horror, science-fiction, or anything else that takes me away from it all. I hope that my stories can do for others what they have done for me.

The Wonder of Words

                “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”                 Was there ever a cliché more profoundly full of shit than this one?                 Sticks rot. Stones crumble. Broken bones heal. Nobody living right now… Read more of this blog post »
