Welcome! Thanks for visiting.

Please stay a few clicks, check out some recent work, and if you’re feeling cashed-up, order my latest book: The Fatal Dance. Maybe even my poetry manuscript Awake at the Wheel too. True story, the more people buy books, the less writers need to eat the books from their bookshelves because they’ve run out of food. Also, books make great gifts. They broaden the mind, and help you to realise that you are not alone in the world. In a pinch you can use them as coasters. So buy more books.

Ten years ago. Hiking Cradle Mountain while Sapphira ponders metaphysical problems. For a few years she traveled everywhere in this pack. Through Europe. All over Petra. Too many hikes to count. She would fall asleep in it, content for hours. 📷:
Sapphira tucks into her ice cream while Beauvoir stands guard. Our girl turns 12 in a few weeks, and she is growing into the most amazing and spirited creature imaginable. #love #gratitude #gratidão #kid #kids #dogsofinstagram #dog #dogs #

Sunset tree, Tofino. This section of the coastline has some of the most charismatic trees in the world. Covered in moss and constantly stripped by winter storms, each forms its own distinct personality. I grew especially fond of this one… #
