I am an English teacher in Maine who loves to write, read, play first base, and hike as many mountains as my knees will allow. A graduate of Lesley University and Emerson College, my work has been published in 101 Words, the MSU Roadrunner Review, and Ariel Chart. My favorite authors are Erich Maria Remarque, Ursula K. LeGuin, John Steinbeck, James Jones, and Madeleine Miller.
