Welcome!

Hello! This page is designed to supplement and enrich the courses that I teach at NA. If you'd like to learn more about the subject that you are taking with me this year, you can do so by following the links. If you have discovered a page that has been helpful to you for the course that is not represented on this page e-mail me the URL. It might be possible, after I've checked it out of course, that I'll add it when I next update the page.

News!!!!  
#1  My husband has won the Society for the History of Rhetoric's Dissertation of the Year.

#2  It looks like Parabola Magazine has accepted our third article, "Beyond Fate", for publication in their Winter 2001 issue, Fate and Fortune. Our second article, from the Riddle and Mystery issue can be accessed in its entirety (with some really bad typos) at Encyclopedia Britannica.

#3  I've added two sections at the bottom of this page about myself.  If you're interested in my resume or my idiosyncratic goofy stuff profile, scroll down and click away.

#4  Currently, I'm working on three major writing projects.  In order to motivate myself to keep going I'm listing each project and its most recent page count.  I'll update it every couple of weeks.
Romance #1 (Setting: Rome), 92 pages
Mystery #1 (Setting: Philadelphia), 5 pages
Romance #2 (Setting: Seattle), 8 pages
