Hello readers! I am a fiction writer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where I live with my husband and rescue pup. I love to comb through old newspapers for story ideas. This is how I was inspired to write The Raffle Baby, which is based on a shocking true story of the Great Depression.
When you read the book, I hope you feel a lyrical momentum that moves you, whimsy that delights you, and characters who take root in your heart.
Some of my favorite novels (I stopped at five) are:
🔷 Year of Wonder, Geraldine Brooks
🔷 The Last Days of Dogtown, Anita Diamant
🔷 News of the World, Paulette Jiles
🔷 The Two Pound Tram, William Newton
🔷 Zorrie, Laird Hunt
