CNET contributor
Testing out "Back to the Future: Part II" shoes.
I have dumped red wine on a hydrophobic t-shirt, test-driven an electric unicycle, and prowled through the darkest reaches of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas during my work as a freelance contributor to CNET.
CNET gives me the opportunity to create fun, catchy content on tight deadlines, while also delving into photography and videos as illustrations for posts. I frolic through topics ranging from weird discoveries on Mars to the internet's obsession with optical illusions and musings on Star Trek.

On the Turquoise Trail
New Mexico turquoise.
An assignment for New Mexico Magazine sent me out on Highway 14, the state's famous Turquoise Trail. I met with a color-blind miner, talked with jewelers, explored the quaint shops of Madrid, and stood inside the famous Tiffany Mine near Cerrillos.
My quest for the iconic blue stone led to On the Turquoise Trail, a feature article that delves into New Mexico's turquoise legacy and the people who keep its azure spirit alive today.

The Library of Lost Trees
Every journalist has a novel. In this case, it's a historical (and botanical) mystery novel co-written with my mother. We are currently shopping the book to agents and publishers.
In 1898, three inquisitive students at the Tremlett College for Women on Antheia Island near Maine discover a body dashed against the forbidden cliffs. Sherlock Holmes-obsessed Ada Gentry Adair leads her two best friends into the untamed depths of the island to uncover the truth behind a string of mysterious deaths and disappearances. They uncover the island's ancient secret--one that may lead back to the very origin of our world. Learn more at the Hardy Women's Society site.
