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! It has been named a finalist for the Minnesota Book Awards.

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 reading or writing, I’m traveling with my husband or training our dog, Cedar. She’s a good girl.
