She has penned two novels, Speaking in Tongues and Burying the Dead, and believes the hardest part of
writing begins after you type: THE END. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Literature/Writing from the
University of California, San Diego, and is a graduate of the University of Denver Publishing Institute.
