Writing is one of my highest pleasures, along with sailing, climbing, whitewater boating, and doing field science as a fluvial geomorphologist (the study of how flowing water creates landforms).


Born in Wyoming. Grew up in New Zealand. Now back in Wyoming.

Mum: fan of Jane Austen. Complicated.

Da: mad rascal, gone (forever).

Loved too many places that I had to leave.

Know odd bits of too many languages.

Choke up, trying to say, trying to say

I love you.

Just posted a new story, T-R-O-U-B-L-E, in the voice of a young girl with a mature vocabulary.   A twisted Huck Finn tale.
