BioI am a part time writer. You can find my fantasy novelette "Suck of Clay, Whir of Wheel" in issue #23 of Challenging Destiny magazine and my story "Myth of Keji" in the 2007 issue of Mythic Circle. My urban fantasy short story "Black Pumps and a Skanky Tom" is in the September 2008 issue of Cat Tales( Wildside Press).
My historic fantasy short story "The Braiding" was in Orson Scott Card's InterGalactic Medicine Show in January 2008.
I have three completed YA fantasy manuscripts
In THE MYTHMAKERS a Renaissance faire storyteller, torn between going to college and following her Gypsy roots, sets out to rescue her boyfriend from an otherworldly fight club and ends up in a life or death duel of wits with the unstable queen of the Welsh Underworld.
MATCHBOX DRAGON is the story of fourteen year old LEDA WILLIAMS. Leda wants one thing—to know her father. When Leda learns her father is a Gypsy fiddler and steps into his travel trailer, she never dreams that her mother’s new boyfriend and his dangerous magic is about to come between them.
In SECRET KNOWLEDGE a modern-day Druid girl who’s banned from boys and determined to earn respect, falls for a shape-shifting sprite and battles a would-be Morgan le Fey bent on defying the laws of nature so she can wreak revenge on the Druids. Think—The Dresden Files staring Juliet and Romeo.
On the other side of my life, I'm a master florist who owns an 1830's country store in which I have a florist and antique business. I also write quarterly articles for Vermont Bride Magazine.
Here's some links where you can read reviews and snippets of stories I've had published:
