  • Born to hippie parents in Flagstaff, Arizona on the cusp of Cancer/Leo and the 70s/80s.
  • Grew up in Durham, North Carolina, home of the Duke Blue Devils. Did not follow basketball.
  • Went to three different colleges and  changed majors twice before graduating from UNC-Asheville with degree in literature.
  • Made my way to San Francisco. Completed MFA in creative writing at tiny, leftist school that no longer exists.
  • Turned down a full-time editing job to teach as an adjunct professor.
  • Couldn’t afford to live in SF on adjunct income. Moved back to Durham.
  • Felt ambivalent about living in my hometown. Continued to teach as an adjunct. Tried to find another type of job. Couldn’t.
  • Moved to DC, then Baltimore.
  • Met my current partner and introduced our cats.
  • Developed a mysterious illness.
  • Lost mother to cancer.
