About the Author
I have been writing since I was a child, graduated from the University of Iowa with a degree in English Literature with Honors in Creative Writing, and have made language the center of my career ever since then. My first paid writing job was as a police beat reporter for the Slidell (Louisiana) Daily News, and my current non-fiction job is as blog writer and copywriter for the Prague-based translation company Skrivanek (you can find my articles related to languages and translation at Skrivanek.com) . My deepest passion is the natural world, so the presence of my world -- Michigan and its waters -- has a powerful influence on the stories I immerse myself in. I write fiction from my home in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and other borrowed desks when I am on the road.
