From the Author:
"I am a former psychology professor turned novelist with a passion for history. Twenty-eight years after launching my academic career I took the leap from full-time academic to scrambling writer and now split my time between fiction writing and higher education consulting work. To hone my writing I attended myriad workshops, searched out some excellent mentors, and read all manner of books on the craft of fiction. Doubleday is publishing my debut novel, Parlor Games, in January 2013. It was hard work getting to this point, but I don't regret a minute of all those years of labor.
My fiction has won Willamette Writers and Belles Lettres awards. I pride myself on crafting carefully researched and realistic fiction. I travel extensively, am an avid opera fan, and enjoy gardening, art films, and, of course, great fiction. I live in Portland, Oregon, that edgy green gem of the Pacific Northwest. "
