"I live in Connecticut and teach at a parochial school to fifth and eighth grade students. I tend to be judgmental and slightly outside the mainstream but am working hard to conform with popular movements and what VH1 says. Spare time? Not really, but if I have a microsecond, I'll play my gee-tar, read history or sci-fi, or jog. I love watching bad movies. Writing is best when I'm in a groove and can feel my story emerging without effort -- these times are rare."
