About

Welcome! Come along for the ride as I navigate my river of life. How’s yours flowing lately? 🩷

Here I post poems, songs, and prose reflections on mental health, philosophy, motherhood, writing, reading, and healing from religious trauma.

Offline, I’m currently finishing my debut middle grade novel about a group of kids who spark a revolution in an ancient totalitarian religious regime. I’m also working on various other stories and projects as I can. See here for a current list of my publications.

Nature photos

I feel lucky to live in these beautiful mountains of West Virginia, and I enjoy trying to capture its beauty with amateur photography. All photos here are my own (unless otherwise specified). 📷
