Writing has always been like breathing to me. Words just flow down to my hand and onto the page. I decided to become a writer when I realized my writing could create the greatest change in people’s desire to protect the earth. My philosophy is that experiencing what is close around you in the natural world inspires you to protect and nurture this environment. My writing helps my readers develop their five senses in communing with nature, and builds a community of readers who recognize in each other this nurturing of the soul through nature. This is why I write.
