Her second\, Spontaneous\, won the 2001 PEN West Award for Fiction. Her fourth\, The Care & Feeding of Exotic Pets\, was very briefly a best seller. She has had many short stories and essays published\, most recently in Conjunctions and Prairie Schooner\, and is an occasional contributor to the Los Angeles Times. She has taught as adjunct faculty across southern California\, from Loyola Marymount to CalArts to Cal State San Bernardino. \nTO SIGN UP FOR THIS WRITING CLASS\, PLEASE CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE AT (626)449-5320 BY 1/18/24. \n*This class will be held on the following dates – 1/20\, 1/27\, 2/3\, 2/10\, 2/17\, 2/24\, 3/2\, and 3/9 and will take place in the Vroman’s Meeting Room located next door to Vroman’s Main Store in the Atrium at 709 E.
