Q: What is your area of specialty?
<\/kbd>A:\u00a0<\/strong>I specialized in Literature, with a British Literature concentration, but I teach composition and have a supplemental career in creative writing. I dabble where I please.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What was the title of your master\u2019s thesis or dissertation?
<\/kbd>A:\u00a0<\/strong>The Master\u2019s program I attended allowed PhD courses with mini-dissertations in lieu of a defended thesis. For one, I decoded prophetic dream meanings in\u00a0Alliterative Morte Arthure,\u00a0<\/em>based on time period beliefs. For another, I traced the\u00a0corsi e ricorsi\u00a0<\/em>theory of Giambattista Vico throughout A.S. Byatt\u2019s\u00a0Possession,<\/em>according to the novel\u2019s structure, theme, and plot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What is your most recent publication?
<\/kbd>A:\u00a0<\/strong>I\u2019ve been writing speculative romance novels for crossover audiences that are imbued with literary nuances: ancient astronomical theories, Greek mythology, and Welsh fairy mythology\u2014across three series. My most recent publication is\u00a0Fever\u00a0<\/em>(The Immortal Transcripts book II), which has a four first-person point-of-view epistolary narrative style and follows Greek gods today in a reinvention of Apuleius\u2019s Cupid and Psyche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Q: What is your favorite assignment to assign?
<\/kbd>A:\u00a0<\/strong>My favorite assignment is my ENGL 102 Critical Research Analysis Paper. I ask students to analyze a short story by using a preferred school of thought to assert a position about a chosen topic found within the text, while evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of the piece in relation to that topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What was the last book you read?
<\/kbd>A:\u00a0<\/strong>Reading a lot of romance and\/or speculative fiction for the escapism in these stressful times, the last being a paranormal thriller\u00a0Ambrosia\u00a0<\/em>by Madison Wheatley.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What are your favorite events on campus?<\/strong>
<\/kbd>A:\u00a0<\/strong>I wish I had more time to attend more events, but something about the Farmer\u2019s Market on Prince lawn makes me happy. Love seeing small local businesses getting support. Also, I just love seeing all the accomplishments of humanities\u2019 students in the halls of EHFA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Where is your favorite place to eat on campus?
<\/kbd>A:\u00a0<\/strong>I tend to pack my lunch but occasionally hit up Starbucks for a scone and a caramel macchiato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What do you enjoy most about CCU?<\/strong>
<\/kbd>A:\u00a0<\/strong>I got my B.A. in English and B.A. in Dramatic Arts from CCU so watching and being part of its growth has been an amazing experience. What I enjoy most, though, is simply walking across the beautiful campus to class on a sunny day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
