About Me

Stories rule my days and are found in the mundane beats of life: overheard conversations, vignettes while in transit, and spatial atmosphere. In fiction, my principal literary interest, I often explore themes of reinvention, love, aging, and the imprint of history on cities. I occasionally am at work on book and film reviews, essays, and journalism.

I have an MFA from New York University where I was a Goldwater Fellow in Creative Writing and a BFA in Media & Performing Arts from Savannah College of Art and Design. I have twice been accepted as a fellow at Vermont Studio Center.

Some potent sources of influence include the Late Romantic period across music and poetry, early color photography, natural sciences, and the sonic-body connection of my ballet practice.

I live in New Orleans.
