I am an associate professor at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, KS. I regularly teach classes on Caribbean literature, multicultural American literature (including a Major Authors course on Toni Morrison's fiction), and writing for children and young adults. In May 2003, I edited a collection called Reading Harry Potter: Critical Essays (Praeger/Greenwood), and in May 2009, an updated volume was published, entitled Reading Harry Potter Again: New Critical Essays. I have written several articles examining representations of motherhood in Caribbean women's writing, and am currently working on two projects: an edited collection of essays on Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, and a manuscript on black female vampires in literature of the African Americas. The tentative title of the second project is The Things That Fly in the Night.
