My students will tell you, I’m a bit of a goofball.
Who sprayed you all with Diet Coke and Mentos???
I wear t-shirt and shorts when I run in February.

I’m a union negotiator, a cancer patient and survivor, an ESL teacher. And I love writing about characters who are as tough as me.
I write about scrappy Unchosen Ones, young people with fish blood under their fingernails and fire in their hearts figuring out what kind of people they want to be and how they’re going to take on the deep flaws in their worlds.
I also write about food. A lot of food.
