My writing reflects my reading tastes: literary, eclectic, rich, and full of surprises. I grew up in California and New Zealand. Some of my happiest hours were spent browsing through bookstores and libraries where I was never afraid to explore the "different" or more unusual titles. My very early influences include Dare Wright and Maurice Sendak. For a while I even wanted to be Little Bear when I grew up! Later I was completely taken with all the great Victorian classics and then as my reading tastes widened, I grew to love foreign writers in particular: Collette, Nabokov, Janet Frame, Doris Lessing, Mishima. I enjoy writing in a variety of genres, from nonfiction and children's literature, to poetry and screenplays. My other interests include working with hand built pottery, collage, and studying art history.
