I write about grief and our Plan B life on Medium.com and my website. You can follow our adventures on Instagram.

My first mystery novel is in on its way toward publication: One for the Raven is set at the Duncan Farmers’ Market, with characters based (loosely) on many of our friends from our farming years. I’m writing my second novel in 2020-2022: the detective character shares my story of young widowhood.

If you’d like to share in the adventure as I work toward my 2020-2022 writing goals, please check out my Patreon community page and consider joining as a member.

The Blog

I write and have a vast archive of old writing (since 2005) on my blog here.

The Book

In 2013, my co-author Sarah Simpson and I celebrated New Society Publishers’ publication of our non-fiction book inspired by Island Grains called Uprisings: A Hands-on Guide to the Community Grain Revolution.
