I grew up in Detroit and spent my teenage summers on my grandparent's farm in rural Tennessee. I have a BA, and an MA from London Film School and developed my writing skills while working in educational television and film. I have taught at the college level and recently founded the Detroit Art Review, where we publish visual art reviews weekly. I wrote and directed a feature film, Going Back, for Vestron Pictures starring Bruce Campbell. Now available on Amazon. I wrote a children's book, Two Stones, self- published at Xlibris. I wrote a novel, The Annunciation, that was a finalist in the 2015 Indy Book Awards and a collection of YA short stories, Beyond, that was recognized in national competition at Shelf Unbound.
