Like pretty much every writer out there, I started reading voraciously and dreaming up my own stories at a scandalously early age. My inability to understand my own handwriting crushed my budding career as a child-prodigy novelist–until I got to college, got my own computer and learned to hunt-and-peck really really fast. I happily exchanged corporate recruiting for dreams of publication, got married to my sweetheart soon after graduation, and settled down to life as writer and mom of three.
My preferred genre is fantasy, usually of the adventurous and romantic bent, though I have been known to write a fractured fairy tale or two. I have three novels in various stages of revision and a slew of short stories under my (metaphorical) bed.
I grew up in the hot humid cantankerous city of Karachi, Pakistan, but have the spent the last decade in the frozen American Northeast among the trees, mountains and moose. The change in scenery has caused me to develop a misguided enthusiasm for vegetable gardening, jam making, and bread baking.
