A precocious reader from a young age, I inherited the books of an older cousin. She started me on Nancy Drew (the originals), but I quickly graduated to Agatha Christie. I've loved mysteries ever since, especially those set in another era and, in recent years, those that incorporate fantasy elements. Fantasy has always allowed writers to look at our contemporary world from a different perspective. Combining the two genres seemed a natural next step. For some years now, I've been working as an editor at a state university, but I hope to write full time.
