This year has been a full one! My novel, Grace, is nearing completion; interspersed between the rather intense sessions of novel writing have come poems, short stories, picture books, and a few essays.

Picture book manuscripts

  • Down - a lyrical introduction to a watershed through drought and rainfall
  • House of Spirits - an joyful exploration of the flora and fauna that fill and build one home
  • Love Cookies - a story of the baking that binds one family together
  • Shadow Play - a day of chasing shadows, and blackberries
 		       
   

Adult short stories
  • Cedar - a short, edgy Sleeping Beauty variant
  • Skeins - the tale of two mothers, an episode, and wings
