I have works published or accepted by Now and Then, Mslexia, Pank, Night Train, Keyhole Magazine, Smokelong Quarterly, The Angler, Thieves Jargon and Six Little Things among other places. My work has been mentioned favorably on the Emerging Writer’s Network, New Pages and most recently, by Lavinia Greenlaw in Mslexia. I was recently a semi-finalist in Rose Metal Press's fiction chapbook contest for my flash fiction chapbook of women's voices, "Getting There Eventually".
I hold a BA and an MFA from the University of South Carolina. I spent most of my life traveling and working in the film, theater and broadcast news industries in the UK and the US. Former employers include the BBC and CNN.
I live on the verge of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park where I raise dairy goats, sheep, make art and document Appalachian culture.
Most of my writing falls into the category of Southern Literary Fiction--though I have been known to make forays into other genres. I am not what they call a writer of the "New South". I have been influenced by writers like Flannery O'Connor, Marjorie Rawlings, William Price Fox, Hunter S. Thompson, Murakami Haruki and Kurt Vonnegut.
Some of my favorite writers include Dorothy Allison, George Singleton, Silas House, Brad Watson, Carl Hiaasen, Elmore Leonard, Tom Franklin and many others.
I also read a lot of trash, watch anime, wuxia, Japanese feudal dramas and am, generally, befuddled by poetry.
I host the Zoetrope Young Guns office on Zoetrope, a supportive place for teens and twenty-somethings on the publishing track to explore craft, markets, guidelines and opportunities. Please drop me a line if you'd like to join.

Other forms of disturbance include those of memory and recognition, finely illustrated in Rosanne Griffeth’s story ‘48 Years’ in which the global effects of agricultural policies are played out in parallel to a more local and intimate series of consequences.

"Rosanne Griffeth employs potent visceral language to create the emotional energy driving her four short-shorts. The characters in Griffeth’s stories, while often gritty and mean and stubborn, are also hurt and lonely and capable of tenderness." ~Newpages on Keyhole #3

"Understand me. What I am here for is to tell you
stories you may not want to hear. What I am
here for is to rescue my dead. And to scare hell
out of you now and then. I was raised Baptist, I
know how to do that." ~Dorothy Allison
