Biography
Born and raised all over the world, I've lived in 8 different countries and traveled to many more. In the midst of my travels, I did my BA and first MA at BYU in English, a second MA in Medieval Studies at Leeds, and an MPhil in English Literature at York. I appear to still be on the move.
