Hello.
I’m a writer living in Colorado. I write essays and stories about our sense of place in nature, family, and identity.

Writing

• Processing | Hippocampus Magazine “I hope we aren’t late. We can’t be late,” becomes, as my husband and I rush into the church, “Oh here it is, it is happening now.”
• But What Choice Do We Have? | Ekphrastic Review Hetty was the first to transform. 
• The Heron’s Game | Ekphrastic Review *Nominated for Best Small Fictions | The heron opens its wings wide, dwarfing its thin body with a surprising, feathered sail, and flies off with the fish speared in its beak.
• Two Screens | In a Flash My skin still smells of his skin, from feeding him back to sleep an hour ago...My hand automatically reaches for the baby monitor and I click it to life. 
• Natural Security | Sage Magazine There was a cow coming towards us in the river. As she moved closer, I spotted other cows wading behind her, nibbling on the river grass. After nine months in Iraq, I had become accustomed to the surreal.
• A Future-Back Approach to America’s Crumbling Infrastructure | Innosight LLC The devastation wrought by the hurricanes that have hit Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and the islands have only brought into sharper focus the need for a long-term plan for America’s ailing infrastructure.
