Life's Good

When my health permits, I love life in Colorado and traveling the world. The rest of the time I'm either hanging with family or writing novels, both of which keep me grounded and happy.

I had so many concussions we lost count.

My wrist tattoo reminds me to stay positive.

I broke both arms when I was seven.

I love puns & word games.

I'm lysdexic—I mean dyslexic.

Science

Central to Life & Writing

ANTARCTICA
I spent six months in Antarctica on a research project to record earthquakes from around the globe. From this experiment, we learned how the majestic Transantarctic Mountains formed.

EARTHQUAKES
Most of my research focused on learning about the interior of the Earth like a ct scan but using earthquakes. Further, I co-developed a volunteer earthquake network with computers, phones, and other devices.
