After many years as a dramatist, journalist, film industry worker and film and theatre director, she is now writing fiction. She has had two short stories published, in Southwest Review (2009) and Connotation Press (2012). She is also at work on two novels, one of which will be her thesis manuscript for earning her MFA in Fiction from the Rainier Writing Workshop of Pacific Lutheran University (in 2013). She hails from a Texas literary family—her father was Texas novelist Billy Lee Brammer (The Gay Place), and her mother, Nadine Eckhardt, a memoirist (Duchess of Palms).
