We hear you're working on a memoir. Care to tell us a bit about that?
Schooled is a humorous, honest and harrowing account of my two years teaching middle school Special Education in Charlotte, North Carolina. I began the project not knowing the first thing about memoir writing, but knowing my students' dysfunction, wisdom and vitality was too grand to keep to myself.

What do you have against squirrels?
Squirrels are rats with furry tails that we let run wild. Plus, they've been known to attack. Enough said.
