#introduction
I’m a writer of novels, short fiction, and creative nonfiction. (And a bit of poetry) I am also a psychotherapist, working for most of my career with developmental trauma. I live on a small horse farm with a herd of 5, and also cats and Corgis and a golden retriever who, as I like to say, believes in love. Native plant gardener, bookworm, keeper of bees. I am loving the absence of ads here.

#BarnSwallow kids peer over the side of their nest watching a sibling making a maiden flight.

Below them, a parent observes the fledgling and stands by, ready to guide and assist.

I get this treat every year ... and this is actually the second family that's moved into the #swallow timeshare.

#BirdWatching #Birds #NaturePhotography

A pair of #BarnSwallow youths in their nest peer over the side as a sibling embarks on a maiden flight. A parent sits below the nest observing the fledgling and giving guidance. Barn Swallows are small birds that have blue backsides, bright orange throats and light orange bellies.

A painted pony, dark brown and creamy white, in the foreground of a late-winter pasture bounded by deciduous forest. A pine tree whose trunk is mostly flat on the ground, but still very much alive is in the near distance. Blue skies and spring leaves emerging.

#SilentSunday

A gathering of early spring May apple plants sitting beneath several large trees, their tops like little umbrellas.

Our galaxy is full of ghosts, the invisible remains of long-dead, exploded stars. A remarkable new radio survey is now bringing them into view: https://www.csiro.au/en/news/News-releases/2023/Supernova-remnants-with-Parkes-and-ASKAP #astronomy #LifeAndDeath https://t.co/xHtttnBhGw

Yesterday, my normally delicious morning coffee tasted bitter and awful. So I took a COVID test.

Negative.

This morning I realized the oat milk had gone bad.

I have two essays coming out in these anthologies, which are now available for pre-order:

I can’t wait to read the other work in both - very happy to be included!

#TableMountain #CapeTown #SouthAfrica

A footpath cuts through tick, green fynbos (foliage) with a solitary tree on the right and Lion’s Head and Table Mountain set against a crisp, partly cloudy sky on a beautiful sunny day

#SilentSunday

A winter sky at sunset, revealing the bones of oaks, tulip poplars, and dogwoods black against a winter sky. Three dark lines have formed horizontally and parallel to one another near the horizon, creating layers of dark and lighter gray. Winter landscape.

This spot is a 10 minute walk from my house. The waves are so big right now that I can still hear them when I’m inside my house with all the doors and windows closed. #StetWalk @stetwalk
