About Me

I write because I love this breathing biosphere. I want it to set my imagination on fire, and to make stories that help reawaken our old kinship with the land in this time of uncertainty and loss.

''There are so many unsung heroines and heroes at this broken moment in our collective story, so many courageous persons who are holding together the world by their resolute love or contagious joy. Although I do not know your names, I can feel you out there.'' - David Abram

Tonight I'm re-reading The Faery Flag - a short story by @JaneYolen - to figure out how in the world she manages to bring forth such an evocative and moving tale in less than five pages.

Last summer a found a wasp making one of these on my writing studio. I like to imagine the wasp has its own writing studio inside, and it's hard at work on a pulp fantasy novel about a group of low-life wasps in a high-magic world, struggling to make end's meet.
