A lover of all things hockey. My winters consist of a lot of pond hockey. I turned Frankenmuth, MI, into Johan Franzen's own magical land in Sweden, known as Franzenmuth. "Pavel Datsyuk In: A Case of Dangleitis" was also my creation. When I'm not writing Red Wings articles, I'm editing my hopefully-soon-to-be-published first novel. When I worked at Caribou Coffee, I was known as "that girl that dressed up like Zetterberg for Halloween one year."
