A little more about me…

I am a proud New England girl.

Wife & Cat-Mom.

Book-hoarder & Antique-junkie

Rainy day aficionado

I love STUFF. I love to have things around me, knick-knacks, artwork, mementoes, toys, books, antiques; the useful and the superfluous, alike. I’m a firm believer in the significance of material history.

Lifelong Stephen King fan.

I know every Golden Girls episode by heart.

I’ve always erred toward the spooky and creepy; I love horror movies, ghost stories, and true crime. Haunted houses are my favorite.

I’m kind of obsessed with houses and the concept of “Home.”

I definitely believe in ghosts and love exploring haunted places.

Of all of my passions and educational pursuits, studying history resonates with me the most. While conventional teaching has never been my calling, I find fulfillment in educating through writing.

My dream is to open and run a book store & coffee shop with my husband (while writing on the side, of course).

I’m a total homebody. I love to cook, bake, and craft.

Often stressed & always coffee-obsessed.

I love puzzles and paint-by-numbers.

I once came very close to joining the Army.

I’m allergic to bananas.

I’m afraid of ventriloquist dummies. Like, terrified.

I understand that academic non-fiction is not everyone’s cup of tea, but if I have somehow piqued your interest by mentioning my Master’s thesis I can assure you, that thrills me to bits. I very, very humbly link that for you here.

I’m a proud LGBTQ+ ally. All are welcome and safe here.

I believe in reparations and acknowledge that we are all on stolen land.

BLACK LIVES MATTER.
