Biography
Over the years I've had the privilege to work at a number of challenging professions: malpractice insurance investigator, forensic nurse examiner, victim advocate, wife, mother and the best one of all: Nana to four precious gifts: Meredith, Ashlin, Owen and Kieran.
Even if I sometimes wish they'd remain in the closet, the years I spent advocating for victims of sexual violence contribute significantly to the voice in my writing. You can't spend twelve years haunting police stations, Emergency Rooms and criminal courts, without coming away with a feel for rampant misogyny, overwhelming apathy or overt bigotry.
I retired my speculum a few years ago but continue to advocate for marginalized populations through Amnesty International and Doctors Without Borders.
