moved frequently, learning early on how to entertain herself with stories. Adulthood didn’t change her peripatetic ways: she has lived on an Appalachian commune, taught on an Indian reservation, and traveled the country from coast to coast. After having children of her own, she decided to try staying put, choosing Minnesota as her home. By day she puts her master’s degree in special education to use teaching elementary school. By night she explores all things mythical, paranormal, and newsworthy, channeling what she learns into writing.
