Find me on mediabistro!

I’m a journalist committed to accuracy (that’s why I edit and fact-check) and no-BS intelligence (that’s why I write about about media literacy and journalism ethics).

I juggle freelance jobs and work part-time at my local independent bookstore.

I love books. And people who write them. And people who read them. And my library. (That’s my library up there.) I read a lot and I write about books. A lot.

I also write about politics, war, ethics, motherhood, work and family, among other things.

I’ve been married to a Norwegian for 18 years. We have three children, an 8-year-old son and 7-year-old twin daughters. That’s me and the kids on the top of Jendemfjellet in June 2010 in Norway.

I live in Iowa. We moved here after seven years in Florida, where all our children were born. A long time ago, we lived in Nebraska, then South Dakota, then Florida (Tallahassee), then Norway. We moved to Tampa two weeks before 9/11. We survived that, then hurricanes, then alligators in our back yard. As if that weren’t enough adventure, we thought, hey! Let’s try winter in Iowa! So, for better or worse, here we are.
