Hello hello. I'm a writer out of Chicago - published first novel in 2017 (The Fairytale Chicago of Francesca Finnegan). I've been published in an array of strange and serious places, from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C., to Crannóg magazine in Galway, Ireland. I have an undergraduate degree in something I've forgotten from Illinois State University and a graduate degree in something equally forgotten from DePaul University. I once passionately kissed a bronze seahorse in the middle of Buckingham Fountain. Email me at Lavenderlinepress@gmail.com, or visit thewileymancan on Instagram.  Good day!
