“But you would remain in the study, among your books of old heroes, attending to shattered fossils.”

– “An Ark of Gopherwood,” Shattered Fossils

Welcome

Welcome to my author’s site! I’m so grateful you made it here and hope you’ll appreciate your visit. Like all words writers add to the blank page, the act of writing is for me a way to respond to the abundant world, as perceived by our senses, and to the breadth of literature between the pages of each book. Every book on that shelf becomes a keyhole to a universe of experiences. Writing, like all art, like breathing, has become for me a way to stay alive, to be in this world, to connect.

Enjoy!
