[Since I bet you’re wondering: it’s pronounced Jean-Anne].
My novel Twister was awarded the Big Moose Prize for the Novel and published by Black Lawrence Press. Twister was also a finalist for the Brighthorse Prize, the Housatonic Book Award in Fiction, and the Sarton Women’s Book Award. Eggs in Purgatory, my creative nonfiction chapbook, was selected as a finalist in the WTAW Alcove Series Open and published by WTAW Press. My writing has appeared in Puerto del Sol, Blackbird, the Catamaran Literary Reader, the Portland Press Herald – Maine Sunday Telegram, and elsewhere, and has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize multiple times.
I hold an MFA from Warren Wilson College and my favorite social media platform is the dog park. Longtime San Franciscans, a few years ago my wife and I moved to Portland, Maine, for family reasons. Now we’re plotting our imminent return to the City by the Bay.
