The second path heads back to New England, where she was born—a setting perfect for antiquarian ghost stories and fireside tales. What connects her treatment of these subjects is a focus on interiority and the impact of the uncanny on consciousness. She has been both an academic and a funeral director. Now, when she’s not writing, she’s reading tarot at local markets or chasing chickens around her home in Austin.
