About Me

As a third-grade spelling nerd, I took pride in writing sentences to go with the vocabulary words of the week. As a naturally nosy kid, I would write about what I saw around me. On one of my tests, my teacher wrote, "Dorothy, you are a great writer. You should be a journalist." I didn't even know what that was at the time, but ever since I read that comment at the top of my spelling test, I have called myself a journalist.

When I am not writing stories or deleting dangling modifiers, you can usually find me in a kitchen working on recipes or dreaming of my next travel adventure.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my website. Feel free to contact me about freelance opportunities, grammar, or the best episodes of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”
