In each life, there are ten thousand stories to tell, and I hope that my small stories may resonate with anyone who has lived with a mental health condition—or who has loved somebody with one. I hope readers will find light in my stories, and discover hope and comfort by reading about my lifelong experience with bipolar disorder.

As a lover of nature and wilderness, I believe that the landscapes of our lives do not simply serve as backdrops to events, but are vital characters that interact with every aspect of our existence.  My life in Alaska, as a fisherman, hunter, and outdoorswoman, has shaped each one of my experiences, and as a result, wilderness is an important piece of nearly every story I write. I am currently seeking representation for my book, I Promised Him a River: A Memoir of Family, Madness, and the Pursuit of Literary Greatness.
