About me

I fell in love with history when I was ten and saw Raiders of the Lost Ark.  Since then, like Indy going after priceless artifacts, I have pursued the stories in history not told.  The ones that have fallen through the cracks, or live behind the scenes. 

I have an MA in History from Monmouth University in New Jersey, and have taught classical history and mythology for sixteen years, illuminating for my students the stories the textbooks don't. When there isn't one to be found, I write it.  

Selling everything and moving from New Jersey to Key West in 2017 has been the best decision.  This place is a crucible of creativity.  It is a community of unique people whose sole mission is supporting you in whatever "you" happens to be.

My writing has won the Key West Council for the Arts Writers Grant, has been published in Decimos (We Say), and short listed in WOW's flash fiction contest.  When I am not grading papers, I serve as treasurer for the Key West Writers Guild, as well as a volunteer for the Key West Literary Seminar.  

I am a member of the Author’s Guild and the Historical Novel Society and fish with my husband, where I have mastered the art of telling fish tales.
