I'm a writer and recent graduate of the MFA in Creative Writing program at Lesley University. I make my home on the north shore of Boston with my family and standard poodle. My most recent picture book for children- Silly Frilly Grandma Tillie (Flashlight Press)-won a 2012 Gelett Burgess Children's Book Award. One of my short stories for adults won second place in the 2012 Soul-Making Keats Literary Competition.
