Following graduation from journalism school at the University of Kansas and from Michigan Law School in Ann Arbor, she began writing fiction. She is recipient of the 2001 Wordcraft Circle Award for children's literary prose. Her latest novel, Tantalize (Candlewick, 2007), marks her debut as an author of dark fantasy for young adults.
