I was born and raised in a tiny town in the wilds of northern New York, a pretty, little college town called Potsdam. I grew up in a family of lawyers and teachers and bucked all the traditions. Before becoming a writer, I spent a lot of years wearing combat boots in the US Army. I spent most of my time in boots working as a Signals Intelligence Analyst (no jokes!) and a linguist. I also worked as a tech writer, an entirely different kind of writing, for Corning Glass Works. Now, I’m an Army wife and a mom to four sons.  Over the years, our Army life has taken us all over the place and I have been lucky enough to work and live in some pretty amazing places.  Now we live in Hawaii, just minutes from the beach!

I am a writer thoroughly in love

in honor of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein…

Today, Mary Shelley’s famous novel, Frankenstein, is 206 years old. She began writing it when she was just eighteen years old, and when she published it, she did so without her name attached to it. But why would she do that? Because the world at that time had certain expections when it came to women, especially those, like Shelley, who were mothers.
