I am a writer, naturalist, and artist. The beauty I find in forests and mountains never fails to move me, and I have never strayed far from places that inspire me. I am interested in people’s ability to discover hidden aspects of themselves through encounters with wild nature, and how we change as a result. Whether in the form of a novel, memoir, non-fiction narrative, or poem, these are the things I write about. Although I have lived in Jackson Hole, Wyoming for over 25 years, I consider many places part of my home range: the fabulous mountains and ocean beaches of the Pacific Northwest, where I grew up, and special places I have encountered in my travels while living in the Northern Rockies. I hope you enjoy my books.
