edit data

I was born in San Francisco to an American mother and Welsh father. I grew up in South Carolina before leaving at 22 to try my hand at graduate school in North Carolina. That hand failed spectacularly and I began a winding road that detoured in Baltimore and has temporarily stopped in Germany.

I’ve long said, “I want to be a writer.” In October 2012, after 29 years of not writing, a friend challenged me to either complete NanoWriMo or cough up $100. I finished November with 50,000 words, the beginning of a novel, and desperately wanted more. Cut to more than 3 years later and I'm just about to publish that novel, Charlotte Gnoll. In the meantime, I began several poetry series and have fallen in love with flash fiction.

I tried very hard, but to be quite honest, after about 30 pages, I was hate-reading out of spite, and I have better ways to spend my time. Here's my main two problems with it: 1.

DNF. I found the characters boring and the footnotes too cute by half.
