For two years I worked as an assistant editor for Narrative Magazine. Currently, I serve as a mentor for Dzanc's Creative Writing Sessions. I'm working on two novels and a short story collection. In May, I was awarded the Carol Houck Smith Contributor Scholarship for the 2011 Bread Loaf Writers' Conference.

She's against sex education and cut funds for teen moms. Her views on global warming (it's nature, not humans) and drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (in favor) are to McCain's right.
