Brown teaches writing workshops and conferences nationwide, including for The Writers' Table and Lighthouse Writers workshops in
Colorado. Brown also participates in
CrossFit and is a contributor for
CrossFit Journal. Brown's first novel,
The Weird Sisters, tells the story of the three Andreas sisters, who have widely different personalities. They reunite at their home in the rural town of Barnwell,
Ohio, after their mother is diagnosed with
breast cancer. Their father, an English professor with a passion for all things
William Shakespeare, named his three daughters after
Shakespeare heroines:
Rosalind (aka Rose),
Cordelia (aka Cordy), and
Bianca (aka Bean). The novel's title,
The Weird Sisters, alludes to the three witches (often referred to as "
the weird sisters") that serve as the introduction to the Shakespearean tragedy
Macbeth. Brown's debut novel is written in the
first-person collective through the perspectives of each of the Andreas sisters. == Bibliography ==
