About me:

A former journalist, I spent ten years with The Washington Post SW Bureau, and taught journalism at the University of Texas. I also taught secondary history in Austin as well as Social Studies Methods at Huston-Tillotson College and Texas State University. In the spring of 2025 I will complete an M.A. in Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Gratz College. During my years in education I accepted a national award for Armenian Genocide Education, and a state-wide award from Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. I write a regular column for the Texas Social Studies/History magazine reviewing and recommending young adult literature.  I have completed two manuscripts that are now in search of an agent: No Place for Us retells the experiences of a teenager who roams alone through Poland in World War II to avoid capture by the Nazis. Kinderszenen is a collection of stories by a young girl coming of age as the conservative 50s grow into the looser 60s. I’m the proud of mom of two adult children and spend my days between Austin and New York.
