I have a background in mythopoetics and sacred ecology and have been published in a number of obscure journals in print and on-line in the U.S. and the U.K. I work as a writing guide with individuals and facilitate writing and story circles at Pegasus and Sisters Writing Studio in Seattle and teach at Sound Circle Center.
