The sleepy town of Druid’s Hollow offers fifteen-year-old Jessica Kane a fresh start, but to her that seems like a lot of work.

Coffee at Luke's: An Unauthorized Gilmore Girls Gabfest (Edited by Jennifer Crusie and Leah Wilson)
ISBN-13-9781933771175
​
My essay in this volume, titled "Dining With the Gilmores," looks at the function and symbolic role of food on this show. Any watcher of Gilmore Girls knows that food plays a vital role on the show, from coffee and donuts at Luke's to Sookie's elaborate concoctions to Friday night dinners. What can be easily overlooked is how these dining scenes often symbolically set up or embody the major themes of individual episodes.
In the Hunt: Unauthorized Essays on Supernatural (Edited by Supernatural.tv)
ISBN-13-9781933771632
​
My essay in this collection is titled "Horror, Humanity, and the Demon in the Mirror." I discuss how Supernatural is a show that is not so much about the good and evil that exists outside us in the form of monsters and demons, but it is a show about the potential for good and evil inside each of us. The essay looks at the varied journeys undertaken by demon-hunting brothers Sam and Dean, during the show's first four seasons, and how the real war they are fighting is the battle for their own humanity.
