I'm a writer living in the Hudson Valley who has worked in the book industry for the better part of twenty years. Currently, I do design and marketing remotely for Booksmith in San Francisco. 

In my former role—a decade-long stint as Booksmith's Events Director—I co-ran and -produced Shipwreck, a literary erotic fanfiction competition that I like to think gained its bizarre popularity through the power of kindness. You might have seen us in the bay area from 2013-2019, or at a New York or Emerald  City Comic Con near you. I co-edited and contributed to an anthology of stories from the live show aptly titled Loose Lips, published by Grand Central in 2016. 

My work has appeared on Midnight Breakfast, The Establishment, the San Francisco Examiner, MEL Magazine, Hoodline, and elsewhere. I have a substack, of course.

For several years, my writing partner and I took turns telling each other the strangest folk and fairy tales we could find for a podcast project called Old Wives. You can find that wherever pods are. 

The San Francisco Chronicle once called me "smart, beautiful, and loud."
