Need a blurb for your book? I know how hard it can be to get those, for some of us who cringe at cold calling. I would like to pay it forward. If you’ve written an adventure memoir or a work of literary fiction, please ask! I don’t generally read science fiction, history tomes, or historical fiction.
Welcome to my author website!
I’m the author of The Geography of Water, a novel (University of Alaska Press). I’ve also published several short stories and essays in anthologies and journals.
My memoir, FIRE IN THE HEART; a memoir of friendship, loss, and wildfire, was published by Arcade in September 2017.
The Last Layer of the Ocean was published in April of 2020; a memoir of kayaking and heartbreak on the Alaska coast.
The Lightning Within Us is my newest work! It is a novel of consequences, small mountain towns, ghost trails, and Trees of Heaven.
Upcoming work:
I am working on a novel about TB sanitoriums in the 1940s. Contact me if you want to talk about anything writing related! I love to hear from writers and readers. I also like writing blurbs for other authors, as long as the books are in the genres I enjoy reading.
I am part of Fishtrap Fireside for October 2nd, 2020. Here is the link to listen and watch my reading at 7 pm Pacific time.
I was a featured writer in the First Draft Writers Series in Pendleton, Oregon
