Greetings, Salutations, and all that whatnot.  Welcome to my little corner of Parkland College, or at least the virtual corner.  The "real" corner is located in C247 - look for the desk with all the Batman stuff.

If you don't know me, a quick introduction: I teach composition and literature in the Department of English and Critical Studies here at Parkland.  Among my many pedagogical leanings is a strong interest in the use of internet technologies in the teaching of writing (and now, literature) - hence the web presence of my class materials.  I am also, in no particular order, a general internet geek, an amateur web designer, a comic book fan, a general media fan, a cat owner (well, they let me think I own them, anyway), an intermittent baseball fan (it's hard when your team keeps ending up in last place), a connoisseur of bad horror movies, a native of the MidWest who has returned from exile in Arizona, and all-around geek-girl.

A few words about what you will find here:
