Before spending seven years writing Paranoid Wasp, I studied literature at Wheaton College (IL), Yale University and the University of Chicago. I moved to Paris in 1999. In addition to ten years in France, I also lived for one year in the Sultanate of Oman and six months in Amman, Jordan. I arrived in Cairo just in time to witness one of the Arab revolutions up close. I earn a living teaching ESL, and am the single mother of a two-year-old.
