I'm a full-time freelance writer whose love for Jane Austen started when I was in college and first read Pride & Prejudice at my grandparents' house over Christmas break. In July of 2005, I set off for a month in England to follow Austen's life, looking for a connection with the writer whose books (and the movies based on them) had become like literary comfort food for me. My book based on those adventures, A Walk with Jane Austen: A Journey into Adventure, Love & Faith, will be released by WaterBrook Press in October of 2007. (You'll find excerpts on Following Austen.)
As a freelance writer, I cover religion publishing for Publishers Weekly and have reviewed books for Washington Post Book World. My other many and varied gigs have included writing for Washingtonian magazine,BreakPoint Online and Today's Christian Woman. My first book, The Single Truth, addressed successfully living the single life.
