Books close to my heart
I take on a limited number of projects each season. I work across many genres, and a few subjects hold a special place for me: memoirs and life stories, books about nature and wild places, social justice, women's rights, and contemplative spirituality.
If you have a project in mind, contact me and tell me about your book.
