About Me

As a ten-year-old playing by the back fence during recess, I decided I wanted to be a director. My friends and I wrote silly twisted fairy tales and action stories, and spent hours rehearsing and revising. Then we would find the perfect location and animal co-stars, and start filming a Hollywood masterpiece.

I have since learned that I do not like directing film and that animals--especially cats--are not as cooperative as one would hope. However, I have continued to aim my life's efforts to storytelling.

Now, after graduating with a Bachelor's of Art in English--Creative Writing, I work as an editor at a publishing company located in Springville, UT, called Cedar Fort, Inc. There I read cookbooks and blogs, drool over gorgeous photography, and sort out the complicated and always difficult world of juvenile fiction.


I am an incorrigible nerd, just to get that out there. I am a Slytherin, an INFP, a fangirl, and a moonlighting actress. Oh, and I have also made severed heads for fun and profit.


Why "Under the Proscenium Arch"?

In traditional theaters of the kind you find in opera houses and concert halls, where the audience faces the stage head-on, an arch frames the stage, opening the wall where the backstage area is hidden from the audience. That arch, the proscenium arch, separates the world of the play from the audience. It is the veil between reality and fiction, though open enough to allow truth to pass through on both sides.
