I'm a writer, a wife and mom (four young adults, one in heaven), a part-time cartographer and teacher and a full-time dreamer. This blog is about the things I love, primarily writing and reading fantasy, science fiction and women's fiction.
Other things I love that you'll occasionally see on this blog:
- Tea with friends and conversations on parenting, grief, healing, history, teaching, spiritual matters, books of any genre, and writing craft
- Seeing the world in new ways
- Beautiful places discovered while hiking in the Rocky Mountains, or riding horses with my husband and daughters
- History and mythology (particularly mythical creatures)
- Maps, geography, and cartography (I work as a cartographer and teach GIS at the University of Wyoming)
- Road trips and other inspiring travel
- Jokes or memes that make me belly laugh and music my daughters share with me
- Things that make me happy, like fires crackling in fireplaces, Christmas lights, and fireflies (the summer equivalent of Christmas lights)
- Anything beautiful or noble
- Jesus and things I've learned from his book, the Bible. I fell in love with Jesus when I was 23 and have been follower ever since, though I don't follow very well and I'm always getting lost.
- What I'm passionate about and the themes connecting all my writing, and my life.
