I spent my early life in Klamath, California and attended the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. My work has been supported by the Arizona Commission on the Arts, MacDowell, Monson Arts, and the National Endowment for the Arts. I live in Flagstaff, Arizona.

My debut novel, Damnation Spring, is published by Scribner in the U.S., Tinder Press in the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand, Actes Sud in France, and AST in Russia.

It took me a while to get here (I spent 10 years writing Damnation Spring), so if you’re walking a long road right now, please keep going.

If you’re looking for someone to read and offer feedback on your manuscript, two people I trust who offer those services are Christa Fraser and Allison Pick.

A practical craft talk I often return to is Charles Baxter on plot at Hugo House.

Review Damnation Spring

For a debut author like me, word-of-mouth really matters. If you enjoyed Damnation Spring, I would so appreciate you telling a friend and/or rating and reviewing on the platform of your choice. Thank you.
