I write low fantasy stories, set in exotic geographies, about people, seeking portals on strange journeys, who have unusual, captivating and inspiring interactions with plants, gardens and landscapes... the people most often emerging better.

Low fantasy? Unusual, unexpected things happen to my characters in their daily lives that transport, that transform, that inspire them. Influenced by Kenneth Grahame, Algernon Blackwood, Rod Serling, Chris Carter and others.

Keywords: landscapes, gardens, plants, flowers, culture, landscape architecture, design, international, Middle East, North Africa, Europe, USA.

I've worked and lived in all the places I write about.
