prosaist og poet

Most of my work is inspired by film, and so my writing has a very movie-like style to it. Some recent topics that my writing has focused on are alienation, domestic violence, subcultures, unconventional sexuality, and traveling. I write in the suspense/mystery/strange genre of short story and poetry writing.

I self-published my first book, "Women in Strange Places: Stories" in February 2009, and my second book will be out next year, which will contain three novellas. The form is really experimental for me and I think it'll be the most visual of my work so far. I have performed for several literature festivals and arts events in the past and I'm incredibly excited to be in Oslo, continuing to make art and working with other artists.

I created some short video presentations of my work last year as part of a 9-week promotional series online. One of my favorites is for the story "Swim":The rest can be viewed here. To read more excerpts of the book and buy online.
