On
the fiction side, I write kooky stuff -- frustrated witches, vampires,
old gods having to get jobs as photocopier repairmen. It's simply my
nature. Apparently, my work is in that popular YA/mainstream crossover
category inside the urban fantasy genre, which is really just a happy
accident.
I'm a native Virginian living in Oregon, and my fiction is frequently set in one of these locales.
As
a freelance journalist and essayist, I specialize in sustainability,
religion/spirituality, health, history, and living. I've written for The
Oregonian, The Christian Science Monitor, Salon.com, The Portland
Tribune, The Writer, Ancestry Magazine, The Lund Report, The Jewish
Review, Skirt!, Heeb, InterfaithFamily.com, Aish.com, HGTV's
FrontDoor.com, Spirituality & Health, Vegetarian Times, and other
online and print publications at home and across the globe.
Oh, and I really like dogs. And trees. And bellydancing.
