Welcome.
Full-time motherhood and full-time writing involve strangely similar frustrations, rewards, and challenges.
Nurturing becomes the amorphous, malleable byword. We nurture our ideas, our stories, our children, our narratives, and our creative selves. How much weight we give to these commitments depends on the needs of each at any given time.
This year has already seen a shift away from travel essays, to wider nonfiction and fiction. I have finished a four-year stint as a twice-weekly blogger for
Perceptive Travel, and am now able to spend more time on longer narratives. In addition to several essays and stories, I am returning to my mystery novel in progress,
To the Bone, the first of a series of novels featuring journalist/travel writer Lee Hansen and mathematician Nikki Towner, half-sisters who would rather ignore each other than work together.
For more information on stories and essays in progress, please refer to the
Fiction and
Nonfiction sections on this Web site.
