You can subscribe to my newsletter for new work and updates on my writing life~

In my writing, I like to follow my current interests (canoeing, parenting, wildlife) backwards through history. I spend a lot of time looking at old letters, diaries, maps, newspapers, and scrapbooks, and then I weave my discoveries into essays, short stories, and larger works.

Here, you will find writerly updates about what I’m working on, and the process of writing and research; essays and works-in-progress on such topics as canoeing, parenting in nature, and old cookbooks, as well as Marshsightings, stories about the past and present of the marsh near where I live, Cootes Paradise Marsh.
