Midwest girl motivated to write. Jr. high, I wrote rhyming poems with a friend. The rest was history. Riiight. I went to college, entered the real world. ‘Til 2007 when I survived the 35W bridge collapse. Returned to bookish aspirations where my affection for the beauty of words deepens. I now consider myself a lifetime student of creative nonfiction; memoir and essays.
