Welcome to my online home. Here you'll find out a little bit about me and about my books.

I have been losing myself in stories, either my own or other people's, since my parents started reading to me as a child. Eventually, I started writing my stories down.

One of the most common questions for writers is "Where do you get your inspiration?" In truth, I have no idea. My stories usually form themselves inside out—a single scene will occur to me, and I'll build the characters and story out from that scene.

But I can pinpoint some writers and places that have inspired me:

Favorite Places

Kentucky Hills

Scotland

Fatehpur Sikri, India

Kodai Kanal, India

Nepal

Appalachian Mountains

Favorite Authors

Neil Gaiman

Madeleine L'Engle

Sharon Shinn

Charles de Lint

Alison Kent

Robin McKinley
