I love trees, open spaces, natural ethics, and great books.
My novel Tributary follows the lives of a ragtag group of Nineteenth-century mavericks who settle in the northern Utah desert. Tributary won the Utah Book Award, the Utah Arts Award from 15 Bytes Magazine, and was a 2013 WILLA Finalist Award winner in Historical Fiction.
My two anthologies, I Am With You: Love Letters to Cancer Patients and Dirt: A Love Story—36 Writers Get Down to Earth, seek to open hearts and forge connections.
There are writers whose sensibilities elevate the whole human enterprise. I aim to be one of them.
