      "I'm from Kentucky, did my doctorate in Renaissance Lit at Notre Dame, lived in New Hampshire for over a decade, and have been slowly becoming a Kirksvillian for the past twenty years. I'm a genuine Indophile and an armchair folklorist. For fun, I nag my children, listen to my resident Sanskrit scholar, and fume about my country's political mistakes."

Her favorite quotation?

      "It was customary for the ancients, in the books which they wrote, to express themselves very obscurely so that those in later generations...could ...put the finishing touches to their meaning."
                                                                  -Marie de France
