Her debut novel Pity the Beast was chosen in multiple Best Books of 2021 lists in outlets such at The Guardian, Wall Street Journal and The White Review, while the American Booksellers Association chose it as an Indie Next pick. She teaches writing across the US and internationally, and currently lives in the high desert West.
