Welcome! I am a writer and artist living on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. I write speculative fiction, essays and articles. I also make mosaics and dabble in oils, acrylics, and mixed media.

My woodland home sits beside a ‘holler’ at the foot of the Cape Breton Highlands, so I call this place Highland Holler. (And when you holler the highlands echo right back atcha!) Every season here brings its own delights and challenges. I share some of my thoughts and observations, gleaned from life here in the holler, on my blog. To see earlier posts, go to Blog List.

Down here is the Holler and up there are the Highlands.

We had a drought this past summer that was one for the record books. The forest was a tinderbox and ponds, brooks, and wells dried up. In this blog I look at the effects of the drought on L’il Pond and Little River before the rains came in November.
