About Me

I’m a Pittsburgh native, wife, and mom of two — plus one bunny and a quarter of an Akita (she technically belongs to my brother-in-law, but is a fully-fledged member of my pack). 

 

You’ll typically find me awake and writing somewhere in the vicinity of 5 a.m. with a mug of strong coffee at my side. When not at my desk — where both my day job and my fun writing tend to keep me — I’m moving. Hiking, running, spin biking, and trampolining (can that be a verb?) with the kids help keep balance and battle the inevitable “writer’s neck,” while my third-degree black belt reminds me that discipline and creativity both take years of practice. 

 

I’m one of those fish-fry loving Pittsburgh Catholics and try my best to keep mind and heart open to allow God’s voice to influence and guide my writing. 

 

Most of my non-work time is happily spent with my kids. Want to keep your imagination muscle strong even as adulthood takes over your brain? Have a few kids.

beseech thee to follow! 

I promise I don't actually write like that in the book. That would be way too annoying for both you and me.
