Current Writing Projects

Great news! I recently completed my manuscript of poetry The Eves in the Trees, and it is being sent out to prospective publishers. The collection explores themes of solitude, sensuality, spirituality, loss, motherhood, and connection with the natural world. Stay tuned, I have some upcoming readings planned online and in person!

I'm currently writing a novella inspired by a short retreat I took at a monastery in Rougemont, Quebec, and some private instruction I received from a very special monk. More on that project in the months ahead!
