Kerry Dunn categorizes herself as a recovering prophet. Or is it an orphaned drug addict? Either way, she's a lot of fun and takes great pleasure in hiding behind her coy facade. She grew up in suburban CT, and after college moved to Boston to pursue a life of rebellion from the ordinary. She scripts this biography from a reception job so she's still working on the "rebellion" part. Her work can be found at poetry.com, thenoyse.com, The Irish Emigrant, Twilight Musings, Letters to My Ex, and all over her 25 years of heavy-hearted journals. Her favorite kind of pie is the real ghetto kind of chocolate puddin' pie with just Cool Whip, instant chocolate pudding and pre-made graham crust.
