I’m thrilled to finally share a project that has been close to my heart for years, the Lorem Ipsum Mystery Series. After recently revisiting these manuscripts, salvaged from the old corrupted file of words once thought lost, I’ve fallen in love all over again with the world of Braedon Cove and its protagonist, Ali Undershot.

For the last three months I have been living in Cancun, Mexico, taking a break from hiking, focusing on all the projects I’ve had in my head for far too long. I came to get dental work done, and haven’t yet found a reason to leave. Since I’ve been here, I’ve built a crypto wallet […]

Choosing the road walk through two towns I’d never seen rather than the section of the Arizona Trail I’d already hiked. Through Winkleman and Mammoth, where my hope had been to hike Aravaipa Canyon while […]
