Writer. Reader. Cook. Unintentional House Remodeler. Professor.

I live in Saint Louis, MO, with my husband and feline overlords. When not helping rehab our 100-year-old home, you can usually find me avoiding grading, by working on my latest article or manuscript, attempting to garden, cooking, and scaring myself silly from listening to too many paranormal podcasts. I also belong to an elite force known as the Academic Super Friends, whose mission is fighting for media literacy, justice, and critical thinking. I love cheese, medieval reenactment, the smell of books, and vanquishing my foes with a trident and pen. I also hold a gold medal in competitive napping.
