    I'm almost 40. I am married to the best graphic designer I know and we have three very odd and lovable children. I have always written, and I s'pose I always will. A few of my fave writers are: Cormac McCarthy, Hemingway, Junot Diaz, Gertrude Stein, London, Henry James, Dickens. I prefer literary writing - forms in which the language is just as important as the subject matter. I am currently studying Lit. and Creative Writing at the University of Oregon, and hope to be accepted into their prestigious MFA program for the latter. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
