Jeni Marinucci is a freelance writer with two children. She has a guilty conscience, countless dead hamsters (see “guilty conscience,”) and a questionable home-haircut. At 34 she returned to University to complete her B.A. in English Literature, a designation which has provided her with an extensive library and resume full of menial jobs. When no teaching college wanted her, she had to choose between taking orders through a window, or taking orders from an editor. She chose the latter. Her neighbours wish she would cut her lawn.
