Upcoming Appearance - Harvard University, May 10

I'll be appearing at the Dudley House in Harvard Yard this Thursday evening at the reception for the launch of their annual literary magazine, The Dudley Review. I will be speaking about my new role as Ms. Wheelchair Massachusetts 2007 as it relates to my interest in writing.

I studied disability in literature throughout college. I also completed an Honors Thesis on Flannery O'Connor, a brilliant novelist who explored character through the vehicle of physical disability. Currently, I am finishing my third novel in a series of Women's Fiction which features disabled women as heroines.
