About

Well hello there. I guess you’re wondering who this nutcase is that keeps writing a whole bunch of nonsense. For starters, I’m a native Nashvillian who loves exploring my fabulous hometown with my friends, my adorable dog, Maggie, and plenty of coffee. I’m a writer, runner and dog-owner and I find the greatest joy in being those three things. While generally a positive person, I sometimes comes across as bitter and cynical. For right now, that’s all you need to know.

FAQ

How do you pronounce “paigel?”

Simple. It’s “pay-juhl.” Anything else is unacceptable.

What grade are you in?

Funny you should ask, because I get this question on a weekly basis. Ask me that in 20 years, and I’ll appreciate it a lot more. For now, just be glad to know that I’m old enough to enjoy that glass of wine in my hand.

I couldn’t help but notice [while I was stalking you], that you’re last name is Presley. Any relation to Elvis?

Why yes, Creepy Creeperson. We are eighth cousins, thanks for asking.

What breed/kind of dog is Maggie?

She’s quite a mutt. I’ve heard everything from lab to hound to pit bull. So, in other words, I [and every vet we've been to] have no idea. The only thing I can be sure about with this dog is that she will eat anything… except for pretzels.
