- From Ireland and living in Boston (MA) area
- Started writing at age 14, and I credit writing with helping me to be me.
- Now write fiction and nonfiction
- 5 published books, including "Writer with a Day Job" (Writers Digest Books), a how-to on balancing creative writing with a day job.
- Personal essays published in various locations, including The Boston Globe Magazine, The New York Times, Another Chicago Magazine, Creative Nonfiction and others.
- I'm a trained teacher which (I hope) makes me a good and empathetic workshop leader. I love engaging with beginner or intermediate writers and helping them with specific craft issues or getting started in a genre.
- I combine my healthcare background (day job) with writing for wellness - a topic close to my heart
