I'm a fiction and freelance writer who’s always been fascinated by the big questions. Why are we here? What makes people do what they do? How do both choices and destiny define our lives? Writing is my favorite way to explore these questions. My short stories often focus on turning points in family or romantic relationships and feature speculative elements. And my first novel centers on a young widow who risks losing her children to pursue a career and second chance at love in 1940s India. When it comes to articles, I’ve written about everything from dreams to dating violence to digital art, but I specialize in travel, service, and educational journalism. I'm also an experienced editor who loves to help other writers find the heart of their stories and prepare their work for publication.
