I was born in Jamaica and grew up in Atlanta, Ga. I have a degree in English and Creative Writing from Stanford University.  I'm a working mother with four children, and I enjoy lunch time dates with my husband. We call our house Chaos Town.

I love reading. My favorite books are "Beloved," by Toni Morrison, "Love in the Time of Cholera," by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, "The Hours" by Michael Cunningham and "Paradise," by Judith McNaught.  In my spare time, I write fiction and non-fiction.

I enjoy brunching, book festivals, and days at the park. Even better are the silly things like jumping in puddles, being scared by the ducks in the Decatur Cemetery, and wasting my time the internet. For more go to http://www.8headedhydra.com/.
