Roots & Branches
I write prose and image-poems about belonging and becoming, vignettes of season, self, nostalgia, memory, and identity, a seasoned adoptee voice forward.

Behind the Yew Hedge - About the Novella
The full novella series, "Through the Yew Hedge: A Tale of Identity Magic," and the stories that grow around it: adoption, identity, belonging, and the novella lore.

Seasons - Images and Vignettes
Seasons - Visual poems that follow the turning year, moments of nature, memory, and reflection captured in image and brief verse. Vignettes, garden reflections, nostalgia. Haiga, Shahai, and Haibun. Welcome!
