Writer & Dreamer who can be found chasing stories and wishes along new coasts. Enchanted by the desert, the sea, and the land and people in between them. My writing often takes inspiration from the circular style of storytelling of the Wampanoag people of the summers of my youth. In 2012 I rediscovered my love of prose amidst the Joshua Trees. When my hands have not taken up pen they might be found propelling me into--then saving me from--a too advanced hand balance, holding up a little-known memoir, pulling the perfect shot of espresso, digging through the dirt of a garden, or paddling through the sea at sunrise...but most likely they're just petting the dog of a stranger.
