I am the love child of Flo the Greasy Spoon Waitress and either Allen Ginsberg or Jack Kerouac (although Jack is better looking, I like to think I belong to Allen). Growing up, I played Barbie's with Sandra Cisneros. I often ran away, sometimes hiding in Harlem with Langston Hughes, sometimes in Robert Louis Stevenson's Garden. I played mediator for Simone and Jean-Paul. I hung out at the bar with Bukowski, while I talked with Maya about my childhood. I was married to Hawthorne and had an affair with Shakespeare. I tried to commit suicide with my friends Anne and Sylvia. Now, I write with Salinger. I earned my BA in psychology/criminal justice, and I am working on my MA in English. On a daily basis, I work with cops, counsel, and criminals. My best friends are dope fiends, gang bangers, murders, defrauders, and the people who arrest, convict, and baby-sit them. By myself, I am raising Kane. I'm just an All-American Girl, trying to make it in everybody else's world.
