My Story
Writing has been my constant love since I was nine years old. Thanks to Auctus Publishers, I am so very pleased to be able to share one manifestation of that love in book form. A Boy Named Trout is the product of five years of writing and contains an entire childhood and adolescence of cathartic prose. While not based on my own life, it is inspired by the time and place of my childhood.
​
As I get older, I am more inclined to put my energy into social change, and focus on social justice. These themes are increasingly present in my work, and the climate of our times deserves that from all of us. But where would we be without laughter, hope, and inspiration? Books have always given me these things, and it is a central mission of my life to give them to others.

Currently, I reside in Portland, Oregon with my daughter. Check back frequently for updates to readings, book tours, and other projects. You can also click on the above icons to find me on facebook, wordpress, and twitter. Thanks for visiting!
