Anat, Ereshkigal, Artemis, Juno, Venus, Bast, Seshat, Brigid, Arduinna, Freyja, Hel, Yemaya, Mawu, Pele, Ix Chel, Kuan Yin, Tara, Sarasvati, Kali. Goddesses were, and still are, widely worshipped. Not just in far off places, but close by, right here. People today sing to these Goddesses, pray to them, dance for them, make offerings - and write for them. The poetry and prose and art collected here celebrates Goddesses from all over the world. Like the Goddesses they honor, these tales and poems and works of art vary from the humorous to the horrific, from the deeply personal to the deeply transcendent, and everything in between. Some Goddesses will be familiar, others strange, still others completely new. It is our hope that you will find these words and works of art not just entertaining, but also inspiring: sing, pray, dance, set up an altar - pick up your pen. The Goddesses are here.

Still in the budding stage of my authorship, I may not have a whole plethora of work to offer you in book format, but I do have a variety of writings published in corners of the internet. For instance, though my primary focus in writing is not spiritual/devotional in nature, I have carved out quite a little corner of devotional material over at Eternal Haunted Summer, a quarterly pagan ezine. Among my most recent works published there are: Not Forgotten Dear Brother Gentlest Far Away What Remains Some of my other published writings include the poem "A Monologue for Jocasta" published in the Spring 2014 edition of Unbound, the University of Oregon's creative arts journal and my essay "The Deconstruction of Narrative Framing in David Markson's Wittgenstein's Mistress" in Nomad. Upcoming projects including my work are Garland of the Goddess and The Dark Ones. As I said I'm not primarily a devotional or spiritual writer, but you've got to get your start in somewhere, right?
