At some point when the climate crisis became more known in social media, I ran across a twitter post claiming–I’m paraphrasing–that by composting you become the king of a kingdom. Honestly, I can’t describe it any better than that. I own/control the land, but have given it over to my subjects. I feed them and, […]
It’s #BookQW and our hero is ‘deep’ in love with a girl who isn’t sure she can commit. At last, a quote from my upcoming release, Keepers of the Sea Cliffs. Details on that below, but first, more from Chapter 2: Feeling as if a school of fish swam through his gut, Salm asked, “How […]
This will be a short post–because I don’t have the answer. But I’ve been thinking more about the crisis nature is in for months, plus this morning on Twitter I saw an NPR news post that the U.S. is formally pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement. Ugh. (and what next?) Ironically, opportune news for […]
It’s #BookQW and Coral has her ‘finger’ on poking her siblings! Family can be everything, but sometimes you’ve had enough of them! More from Chapter 25: Did you make these, too?” Ty gestured to the macramé she’d tied into her hair at her temple when she’d left it loose tonight. Hoy, now he was taking […]
It’s #BookQW and nighttime is when our heroine ‘lights’ up! More from Chapter 1: More Trouble Than Boys Are Worth Tern Bay enclave, in the Windborne Scotland District Coral hovered, slowly flapping her feathered wings under the crisp September night sky. The last set of competitors had landed at the edge of the dueling arena […]
It’s #BookQW and our Seas siblings have a ‘long’ history of competition. More from Chapter 4: Ma straightened, tucking stray hair into her French braid. “We’ve made our decision for your safety, and I’m thankful your sister has agreed to let you stay with her on top of her generous offer of the bakery job. […]
It’s #BookQW and a ‘mistake’ can be fun! More from Chapter 17: Hoist the mainsail! Batten down the hatches! Kiss the gunner’s daughter! From the moment Ty climbed aboard The Peaceful Seas, Salm had peppered his instructions with common nautical terms, weird sea references, pirate jargon and…bilge? Salm greeted him with “Ahoy, matey,” but was […]
I’m on a trip out west and am so caught up in different activities and what is happening with the climate summit that I actually forgot yesterday was the Autumnal Equinox! I may have missed the date–as one does when away from home–but thankfully, I have been outside! Here in Wyoming, the aspen are starting […]
No efforts on our part seem to keep our wildflower garden thriving. Anything good that sprouts is soon discovered by the deer. So it was with some surprise that they ignored one particular plant. That plant has now bloomed–hugely! It’s a Late-flowering Boneset, Eupatorium serotinum, a giant of a plant at 7 feet high and 7 feet […]
I would miss seeing this in my neighborhood. And this. Or any of the cool interactions I’ve had with our natural world. I followed the sailing trip a girl took a few weeks ago–and not the one in my novel. With that trip aboard the Malizia II, teen climate activist Greta Thunberg has inspired me […]
