How did you get here?
It was a happy accident, or maybe it was written in the stars. I was lured here by my Fort Kent-born husband, the drumming/sound wizard Tim Morin. He first stole my heart in Leeds in the North of England when I was a 19-year old student and he was drumming with a band. Seven years later, our paths crossed again on the neon streets of Hong Kong where I was working as an arts writer. We tied the knot and decided to transplant ourselves to the U.S. The plan was Brooklyn, but somehow we landed here... No plans to leave.
