She holds a useful BFA degree with a concentration in acting from UT, Austin and is the recipient of two Norman Mailer awards and several High School trophies. The author of the novel, Follow Me to Grownupland, and several other unfinished works of poetry and stage, she has never seen anything through in her life before until the publication of this book. She's crap at grammar and Yoga, is marginally better at Pilates, and wanted to marry Ilie Nastase and be either Mario Andretti or Mary Poppins when she grew up. For some reason she still lives in Texas with her dog Stanley who'd much rather be by a beach as well. Namaste.
