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.

In the second in a series of posts about colour I’m going GREEN. Green is the colour of life, and the dominant colour of summer here in the Holler. I explore the many meanings of green, write about green beings, and remember some green machines.
