About me

“Frighteningly talented,” wrote an anonymous reviewer who recommended me for a fellowship once. I’m dutifully trying to live up to that. :)

I’m a writer and researcher specializing in historical and environmental topics. I’ve won fellowships from Oregon Literary Arts and the Millay Colony, among others, and have written for Sierra, MAKE, Air & Space/Smithsonian, E: the Environmental Magazine, SAIL, Cat Fancy, American Spirit, and other publications. I also coauthored the book Knitalong — a celebration of the social aspects of craft, from Stewart Tabori & Chang.
