W r i t e r & A r t i s t
WRITER
I started my path toward being a writer by taking writing workshops with a local author in Portsmouth in 1992. I never had a great relationship with English, but I loved to tell stories. Taking workshops for a couple of years, meeting other writers, creating characters and worlds, and seeing my stories come to life on paper was exciting, and I was very quickly hooked.
In 2001, I published my first essay, titled "Routine Kisses". Shortly after, I began writing a column on single parenting called "On Our Own," in a local newspaper called Our Times. I wrote the monthly column for two years, recording and sharing stories of life with my young son.
I co-wrote a book title A Group of One's Own: Nurturing the Woman Writer, which was published in 2003, and wrote Daytrips Quebec, which was published in 2006.
In 2009, I earned an MFA in Fiction Writing from Southern New Hampshire University.
While I still write essays and other non-fiction, my current focus is on fiction writing.
