Africans say, “When the Europeans came, they had the Bible and we had the land. Now we have the Bible and they have our land.”
I am preparing to start writing on my time in Africa and have started reading notes, journals, and looking at pictures. The above quote and picture was taken from the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg.

Writer. In the summers, I live and work in the incredible state of Alaska, in the bush community of McCarthy, as the Executive Director of the Wrangell Mountain Center. When not in McCarthy, you'll typically find me in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California, writing and working with local activists. My primary writing project right now is a novel set in remote bush Alaska, of the magical realism genre wherein an earnest and independent young woman finds a mysterious radio belonging to her grandmother, a device that has paranormal bandwidth and a disturbing ability to mess with one's mental stability.
