Profile

I'm a novelist and poet. My most recent novel is Venus of Chalk from Firebrand Books. The others are Martha Moody, which was gift and a joy to write, and the hard to find but cool Fat Girl Dances with Rocks. There's also the obscure but beloved Belly Songs: In Celebration of Fat Women, a chapbook of poetry and short fiction.

I learned to type on a manual typewriter and entering the worlds of social networking feels a little like the moment in the Hitchcock movie Vertigo when Jimmy Stewart kisses his fraudulent-yet-true beloved who he thought was dead and weird spirals start whirling around the screen. Kind of wonderful, kind of disorienting. I'm enjoying it.

Anyone is very welcome to comment on posts.
