She is also the creator of the Skeeryvilletown cast of bizarre but light-hearted cartoon characters. In her spare time she travels, hikes, sips chai at Starbucks, knits long scarves, and goes geocaching.

A ninth generation Virginian, she lives in the Shenandoah Valley with illustrator Cortney Skinner. Homegrown is her first contemporary mainstream novel.
