Author Bio: I grew up in Michigan and spent much of my career working at the University of Michigan at the Lloyd Scholars for Writing and the Arts Program. My current passion is historical novels set in the 1930s. Researching, writing, and revising--I enjoy it all. I live in Arizona where I love to bicycle and hike. You can also find me taking Zumba classes and calming down with yoga and meditation. Guilty pleasures include tiramisu, Netflix, and staring dreamily into space.
