Artist's Statement
My in-progress linked stories chronicle a clan of Blue Ridge mountaineers across generations from the hills to the lowlands, inspired by my own family saga. The early-to-mid-1900s saw a mass outmigration of Southern Appalachians to seek jobs and other opportunities in the industrial cities of the North and elsewhere, and my mother and father as children were swept up into the exodus out of the Blue Ridge, along with droves of poor hills farmers and sharecroppers who journeyed from Virginia and West Virginia to forge new communities in Washington, D.C., and Baltimore. One of my aims as a writer is to give voice to characters who may not have much voice or agency in the literary world or the world at large, despite the contemporary writing advice to dampen and dilute regional dialects and vernacular. Above all, I hope that my stories entertain and that they spur readers to think, feel, imagine, and perchance fall in love with characters and lives outside of their own experiences.- •

Our basic research program focuses on dysfunction of cortico-limbic-striatal circuits that subserve dysfunctional cognitive control, impulsivity and alterations in reward-related learning with relevance to drug addiction, depression, schizophrenia, and Tourette Syndrome. Our current studies examine how DA/PKA-regulated intracellular signaling and neurotrophin molecules within the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and accumbens contribute to motivation, learning, and memory processes, including memory reconsolidation. Studies in monkeys have found long-lasting deficits in inhibitory control after repeated cocaine exposure and alterations in reward-related learning. We have recently developed a novel corticosterone model of depression and also examine sex differences in attention, motivation, and impulse control in rodents and underlying molecular alterations. Several addictive/abused drugs such as cocaine, amphetamine, PCP, THC, nicotine, and alcohol are examined using drug self-administration models. We use transgenic mouse models, intracerebral infusion techniques, and v
