A therapist observes a patient undergoing Stage 3 of treatment at the region's controversial new clinic, Caligula's Cure for Claustrophobia.

I live, write, and work in a sweet town perched on the edge of Puget Sound. My work has been published in a variety of genres, including poetry, fiction, and children's literature. I love sharing my passion for words and community with folks of all ages, from elementary school students to adults, and have been privileged to do just that for many years as a teacher, journalist, spiritual writer, and friend. Pots of tea abound.
