I am currently living in England with my partner of five years. Prior to this, we lived in sunny Southern California, where we had two cats, Rio and Via, and I had a dog named Java. Sadly, they had to stay with a good friend, as the journey to England would have been too hard on them.

I got my MA in English Composition and Literature from California State University, San Bernardino in July, 2007. I also completed a Women’s Studies Certificate to complement my English degree. I got my BA in English from California State University, Los Angeles, and my Teaching English as a Foreign Language Certificate from ITTT. I have presented papers at conferences throughout the US, mostly on how mythology furthers our knowledge in particular texts, such as Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon, or Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code. In 2006 I won 2nd Place in the CSUSB Research Competition for my paper on Mythological concepts and their validity in The Da Vinci Code.

Right now I am a Feature Writer for Suite 101, as well as working as an editing intern for Bold Strokes Books, a lesbian publishing company. I am also working on my own novel, of which I will post occasional chapters as I get them finished.

We enjoy hiking through the amazing English countryside, visiting castles, ruins, abbeys and stone circles. My imagination can run wild here, and often does so of its own volition. Please contact me if you have any feedback or questions. I would love to hear from you.
