    • About Me

    I'm one of the PaperRats (along with R.J. Keller) of the writers' YouTube comic relief series "Inside the Writers' Studio," (take a look! www.youtube.com/user/paperrats) and author of the semi-autobiographical war-ish novel Pretty Much True..., to release in spring of 2011. I've been a grocery bagger, a reporter, a cab driver, an adjunct professor, and a writing instructor, and am currently an editor (at a small publishing house, and also co-editor of the literary journal American Fiction [New Rivers Press: http://www.newriverspress.com]).

    Favorite jobs: grocery bagging and editing.

    Why do you write?

    I think it's fun and challenging to excuse the inexcusable.

    Any favorite authors? Books?

    Favorite authors: Steinbeck, Hemingway, Parker, Atwood, Irving, Chopin, Novakovich, and Oates (different reasons for each).

    Key Kristen, I like the reason that you write. That DOES make writing fun (and challenging).

    Thanks for encouraging me to keep my story going. I think there is more to it, too.

    Hi! Still getting used to this place. Every website has its format that takes some time to make sense. I now know this is my wall.
