Writing unleashes the imagination in ways that are inconceivable to the conscious mind. The element of surprise in the act of writing makes it all worthwhile.
BIO
After graduating with a B.A. in French Drama, a circuitous route took me through Charleston, Provincetown, Key West and Nice before landing in New York where I studied drama and screenwriting at N.Y.U., the New School and privately under Meade Roberts, who adapted for the screen Tennessee Williams' plays Summer and Smoke and The Fugitive Kind. I also studied fiction in the University of Iowa's International Writing Program.
Slow Reveal, a 2023 Best Book Award winner at American Book Fest, was published by York University's Inanna Publications on May 3, 2022. The novel was selected as Best of Women's Fiction Debuts 2022 and was a bestseller on SPD Books. An excerpt was published in Bloom, Lesbian.com and Lesbian News. An excerpt of my novel Too Good To Be True was published in the Harrington Lesbian Quarterly. My screenplay Zero Gravity landed an Edward Albee Fellowship where I wrote the one-act play Personal Effects. In addition to being a finalist in the Writers Guild East Foundation Fellowships for my screenplay Dodge and Burn, my screenplays In The Name of Love and Out to Lunch were finalists in the Houston Film Festival Screenwriting Competition. I received a fellowship from M.E.T. Theater and was awarded fiction grants from Vermont Studio Center and Summer Literary Seminars. As a journalist, I covered the tech industry, television production and visual effects. I've written for Wine Spectator, Gay and Lesbian Review,Vol1Brooklyn, San Francisco Bay Times, Open-Book, The Spirit World and thegroovymind.
