Brief Author Bio:

I'm a professional writer/editor by day. I've worked in retail, marketing and advertising, newspaper production, and curriculum design. At night I concentrate on writing fiction (which is about a million times more difficult than writing nonfiction). Hopefully, I'll get it right some day. I joined NaNoWriMo at the insistence of supportive writer friends (thanks Dave and Dorothy) who, I pray, will continue to kick my butt to get my novel done.
