Growing up in small town Alabama, story-telling became a natural way for me to pass the time and keep my two younger sisters entertained. Of course, that also means I'm inclined to suffer some of the same maladies of many southern writers which may include overuse of simile and metaphor, exaggeration, melodramatic writing style, and the ever-popular long-winded sentence.
I have degrees in English and History from Emory University after diversions to Oxford College and the University of Sussex along the way. I also have an MD from the University of South Alabama. My scholarly works have been published in The Oxford Review and by Emory University Department of English.
I currently live in Western Washington with my husband and maintain my alter ego of mild-mannered physician by day while I continue to pursue writing on nights and weekends. I refer to it as "therapy".
