The yellow of balsamroot flowers and the sentinels of violet lupine and monk's hood. Baby elk, tremulous on newly-jointed legs; a rather fat a...A web...

A Blog of One's Own. Write Think. Repeat. Friday, October 12, 2012. I am excited that one of my stories, "Edward Hopper's Women," is the first piece of fiction being featured by the lovely and Seattle-based Pacifica Literary Review! Go and check it out HERE. I wrote the first draft of this story in 2009 and polished it up for publication afterwards. It's oh so nice to see it in print. I've also had two stories accepted by District. Labels: check it out.

Ten minutes ago, my wonderful sister and her wonderful boyfriend Sam brought me a mimosa and breakfast in bed (woot! I want to toast my beautiful, supportive family and my wonderful ...

A Blog of One's Own. Write Think. Repeat. Wednesday, July 10, 2013. The Gros Ventre is defined by a massive 1925 landslide that brought an entire side of Sheep Mountain down in a crush of tons of rock and trees. The slide, in turn, dammed the Gros Ventre River to form Lower Slide Lake (the "Gros Ventre Slide" is also a locally-beloved breakfast dish at The Bunnery. Burnt trees also lend themselves well to being re-interpreted and morphed into looming, portentous signifiers. The following was on an un...
