My latest project, The Constitutional Case Files, began as a way of examining the evidence of my own life: grief, relationships, boundaries, memory, belonging, independence and the complicated business of becoming yourself again.

I also write fiction, mysteries and travel essays, because apparently one rabbit hole has never been enough.
