Isolation depicts a bleak but recognizable future in which the fear of contagion reaches a fever pitch as a bacterial epidemic catapults the US into an apocalyptic crisis. Touch is outlawed. Mothers like Maggie bind their infants' hands, terrified they might slip fingers into mouths. Gary, a Sterilizer, uses robots to scour the infected, avoiding all contact with human flesh. Trevor, the Chief Enforcer, watches, eager to report any and all infractions. One inadvertent touch will change all of their lives.

I grew up in Iowa and left there after college to live in all of the out-of-the-way places where my novel, Isolation, takes place. Currently, I live in Oceanside, California in a condo just three blocks from the Pacific, which I can see from my rooftop deck. For two decades I've been a director of college writing centers. I love my work because I get to help student writers discover they can put clearly organized thoughts on paper, or at least in a computer document. In addition to writing, I'm a book artist. Sometimes when I'm overwhelmed by words, I love to play with paper and shapes and build new book structures; it uses a whole different part of my brain.
