Tell us about you: I am the author of the Annie Crow Knoll series. Annie Crow Knoll: Sunrise debuted in 2013, and Annie Crow Knoll: Sunset was released on Sept. 14, 2014. I live in NJ, but my husband and I rent a cottage on the Chesapeake Bay, which is the setting for the Annie Crow Knoll series.
My career in performing arts and education has allowed me to play various roles: teacher, adjunct college professor, guidance counselor, actor, director, and writer. My play Eva's Piano was produced at the Dayton Playhouse in their 2000 New Play Festival. The play also received a staged reading at the Theatre at St. Clements in NYC. The Church Hill Theatre in Church Hill, Maryland staged a reading of my play A Thing with Feathers. As a professional actor, I have performed in several regional theatres. I have worked as a director at the Brick Playhouse in Philadelphia, Theatre Studio, Inc. in NYC and the Ritz Theatre in NJ.
Currently, I am writing the third and final book in this series. When I finish Annie Crow Knoll: Moonrise, I plan to move onto a new set of characters, and the setting will likely be around the Philadelphia area.
