So, you want to know a little bit more about me? Well, the details of my life are quite inconsequential. My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a 15-year-old French prostitute named Chloe, with webbed feet--no, I'm totally kidding. Obviously, I stole that from Austin Powers.
The truth is much less interesting. I was born and spent the first few years of my life in New York. My family moved to suburban Kansas City when I was kid and I've lived there ever since. The weather sucks, but it's a really nice area. Check it out sometime.
I graduated from the University of Kansas in 2011 with a BA in English Literature. For a while, I thought I wanted to be a teacher, so I went ahead and completed a post-bachelor program for my Kansas Teaching License. As of right now, though, that may have been a massive waste of time and money because I can't think of anything I want to do less. What can I say? A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets.
Yeah, I stole that from Titanic.
Writing, however, has been an obsession of mine since I was seven or eight years old. You can ask my parents, since they were the ones who read my very first short stories. Nowadays I have half a dozen novels in the works, but since those guys take a backseat to my actual paying work, I hardly ever get a chance to work on them.
