About Me

我写的许多故事都发生在马里兰州的东海岸, where I grew up on the Tuckahoe River, 周围是绵延数英里的玉米和大豆田. Since then, I’ve lived in North Carolina, California, Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania, with long periods spent in France, Italy, and England.

我喜欢在萨斯奎哈纳教书有很多原因, 其中之一就是我和我的配偶分享我的职位, Silas Zobal, also a writer. We write, teach, 并在弗里堡抚养两个孩子, a town four miles away from campus, 我们最终分享了很多生活(包括两只狗), three cats, chickens, bees, a garden, a woodshop, 还有一座建于一个多世纪前的房子，里面有学生.

I’m the director of FUSE, 这是一个全国性的本科生编辑组织，就在州立大学成立. 我们有一个非常活跃的分会，每周聚会一次. FUSE让我有机会和全国各地的学生一起旅行, 与其他作家和编辑建立联系, both students and professional.

我目前的一个写作项目叫做 The Woman and the White House. 这是一本关于工作的自传体小说的合集, writing, parenting, and active citizenship. I’m also a translator, from French to English, 我的项目包括一本西尔维·韦尔的小说, 以及西里尔·弗莱希曼的短篇小说集. 我和我的朋友林恩·巴勒莫(Lynn Palermo)合作翻译，她是苏大的法语教授.

My first book, Unfinished Stories for Girls这本由16个故事组成的合集于2014年5月由Fomite出版社出版. 你可以找到我写的其他作品 《浩博体育app网站》、《浩博体育app》、《浩博体育app网站》, and elsewhere.

Scholarly & Creative Works

My book, Unfinished Stories for Girls, published by Fomite Press in 2014, 有16个故事，并附有我的同事安·派珀的作品. 《柯克斯评论》(Kirkus Reviews)写道，这本书“观察敏锐，充满抒情, 具有情感分量的唤起性的集合.”

我在研究生院的时候就开始发表文章了 《浩博体育app网站》《路易斯维尔评论, and Crab Orchard Review他在2006年获得了查尔斯·约翰逊学生小说奖. 从那以后，我一直在出版小说 《浩博体育app网站》、《浩博体育app》、《浩博体育app网站》、《浩博体育app网站》、 and elsewhere.

我和别人合写了一章关于如何写短篇小说 Creative Writing Guidebook, edited by Graeme Harper.

我最近的爱好是把法语翻译成英语:我爱上了一位名叫西里尔·弗莱希曼的作家的作品. 我和我的同事林恩·巴勒莫完成了他的短篇小说集 Destiny’s Repairman, and we have started on a second book, Rendezvous at the Saint Paul Metro. 我最新的短篇小说呼应了弗莱希曼的渴望和幽默的视角. 其他的写作项目包括一本名为 Dina, 一本关于阿巴拉契亚山径的创造性非小说类书籍, 还有一本闪光的自传体小说暂称为 The Woman and the White House.
