"When Friendship Followed Me Home is both a beautiful book, and an honest book; it is, in fact, beautiful because it is honest.
Gracefully answers questions and solves mysteries, leaving us with hope and a smile."

Biography
After graduating Dartmouth College with a BA in Film Studies, I was well-prepared to find work as a butler and bartender, a cook and an EMT, a dog trainer, a driver.
