I like to tell the small stories.

I write about forgotten places and ordinary people, exploring themes of sisterhood, family patterns, nature, religion, and rural life. As a Northern Appalachian writer from small-town Pennsylvania, I am captivated by ghost towns, post-industrialism, the sacredness of the land, and the allure of the past.
