about: I've always loved to disappear inside of a book, recreating myself in a character for the duration of a story. When I discovered Madeleine L'Engle as a girl, science fiction took on a new depth. Only after reading The Lord of the Rings was she relegated to second favorite author.

Friends, family, art, writing, and community are my world. If I've been sitting at the computer for too long, my cat lays on my arms and growls at my twitching fingers. Billie's home is decorated with pieces inspired by local artists who have inspired me. I enjoy herbs and herb lore and spend time in the deserts and mountains around me. If you want to know how I feel about the wilds, look through Billie's eyes. She got it from me. ...more
