  • Welcome! So glad you’re here!
  • Please join me in the adventure of things creative!
  • I didn’t plan to write novels. I only had a strange dream I needed to understand, so I started writing. And characters appeared, showing me the stories I put on paper, literally! With pens and pencils and bits of paper, I wrote and wrote and wrote, then taped the pages together in an accordion of story. It was a very long process! What an adventure! Story took me from the Northwest, to Texas, and deep into Mexico! I had no idea what would happen!

    • Mia’s journey will surprise you! Will she find herself, the love she longs for, and the spirit she has been missing? Will you find a piece of yourself on these pages? Read these and review these books and help launch me onto the next adventure!

    When Hearts Hurt

    When hearts hurt it’s hard to see clearly anything beyond. When hearts hurt, hours drag on in dulled enjoyment and striking pain. But out there – beyond the walls of self, is a broad sky and nature existing, rejoicing the day! We’re not meant for worry. Nature doesn’t worry. She drinks in sustenance. We are… Continue reading When Hearts Hurt

    When Life Is Strange

    When life is strange, I am out of sorts, off-balance. When life is strange, things look different. When life is strange, it’s hard to know why. Or what to do to get back to even ground emotionally. Things just seem weird. And feelings are easily hurt, words and meanings misconstrued. These times, I wish I… Continue reading When Life Is Strange

    Here And Now

    Here And NowI am not NativeBut I feel the pain, hear anguished cries on the river, wind carrying sins of ancestors: mine of timber cutters and millers and growers of wheatWhite men and women of European descent following their own calls for survival, And all the while, damage and death being done to the land… Continue reading Here And Now

Come back!How we long for the racing hearts and delighted glancesHow we long to be reignitedFresh in love and full of purposelike… Continue reading Nature of Longing
