About Me

*NO AI TRAINING

I’m a Franco-American writer, editor, and author who lives in a northeastern Massachusetts mill town — the same one Jack Kerouac was from. I love books, traveling, crocheting, and hiking. I’m a big fan of folk and roots music, especially if it’s Celtic or French-Canadian. I was a history major in college and have always been drawn toward antiques, old houses, and stories from the past. I’ve also been known to binge-watch European crime dramas.

I have held editorial roles at four magazines and have written and published hundreds of articles. I was the editor in chief of a media company that published two lifestyle magazines and a lot of other content for several years.

My short stories have appeared in various magazines, journals, and anthologies. My novels include The Blue Bottle, a middle-grade adventure with sea monsters, published by North Country Press in September 2018, and The River Is Everywhere, the coming-of-age story of a Franco-American teenager, which was published on March 14, 2023 by Vine Leaves Press.

Some of my favorite books (in no particular order) include Peace Like a River by Leif Enger; The Shipping News by Annie Proulx; Townie by Andre Dubus III; The Girl Who was Saturday Night by Heather O’Neill; Enon by Paul Harding; Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles; and Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities.
