Themes around education and learning run through my work.
My work explores the frontier between rationalism and superstition and the wavering boundary between the two.
I learned to be a regional writer by reading people like Flannery O'Connor. She was a huge influence.
I know I'm writing better now than I ever did for adults because I'm writing for an audience who know that they don't know everything.
The sounds and rhythms of words are really important to me.
