The weirdest things happen to me.  I must find a way to process my experiences.  Ergo, I write.  This will be my first published novel. I hope to write again, but it better take less than 10 years the second round. I love British authors, Daphne DuMaurier and Iain Pears, and the classics.  Oddly enough, I don't consider myself an Anglophile.  I like British writers because they revel in their writing: they combine the lushness of words, while conveying important information. Overall, their stories are riveting. I love the English language, but after law school it's hard to relax when reading, as I tend to be quite analytical. Some of this might come across in my own writing, hopefully, to good effect, as I am writing a whodunit.    

Finalist out of 800 in Writers Guild of America Screenwriting Competition; received $4500 prize (now too long ago). It still motivates me to believe in myself.
