I’m a writer, editor, and professor based in Minneapolis. My first novel, Noah’s Wife, was published in 2016 by G.P. Putnam’s Sons, and my second novel, Monsters We Have Made, was recently released by Vintage / Anchor Books. You can read more about it and order a copy here!

My short prose has appeared in AGNI, the New England Review, Ploughshares, the Cincinnati Review, and the Southern Review, among other places. My story “Baikal” recently won a Pushcart Prize.

My academic articles have been published in Modern Fiction, The Journal of Modern Periodical Studies, and Adaptation.

When I’m not typing on my laptop (or taking pictures of it) I’m traveling with my husband or training our dog, Cedar. She’s a good girl.
