Aileen Jones-Monahan is a writer living in Western Massachusetts. Her mother cut the cord off the television when she was a kid, so she spent a lot of time reading and fashioning "helpful" inventions from junk drawer tidbits. She enjoys these activities to this day. After the birth of her sons, she added napping and eating in bed with the door closed. Her essay "Cigarette Ash in the Frying Pan" was published in the last issue of Hip Mama, and she has work forthcoming in Green Prints and Curve. Keep up with her here.
