I’m a book-lovin’ dork

Smiling woman with curly blonde hair, glasses, and earrings, sitting on a stool against a plain gray wall, wearing a gray t-shirt and jeans.

I’m also:

A mom of two teenagers and wife of the most supportive husband in the world.
A tea drinker. English breakfast, please.
An agented author! Represented by Michelle Wolfson @ Wolfson Literary.
A full-time, award-winning portrait photographer.
A traveler, hiker, and concert- and theater-goer.

My Bookish Manifesto

Audiobooks are books and count as reading. Fight me.
If you’re not planning to read it again, donate it. Sharing is caring.
It’s okay to judge a book by its cover.
You don’t have to finish reading books you don’t enjoy. Life’s too short!
Reading makes us smarter, braver, and more compassionate. It’s a superpower!
