This is a story to give hope to all our children faced with the very possible futures we are already encountering. When I had finished reading, I just wanted to stay with them!

Rachel Richards, The Wild Orchard

The characters were so relatable and deep and their circumstances so compelling! The world building is on point, with vivid descriptions that will have you smelling the woods. It is a page turner that grips you from the first chapter and never lets go.

Wow! a really captivating story, really, really powerful…

Glennie Kindred, Walking with Trees

Engaging, gripping. Beautifully and sensitively written. This book had me gripped from the start. It is beautifully and sensitively written for it’s teenage audience. The characters were engaging and I was really drawn into the story line and invested in finding out what would happen next. I highly recommend it, and am left wanting a sequel, so I find out what happens next

survival and adventure in the forest

I write poetry and fiction. My first novel is called Earthheart and its story is told by El who is fourteen and lives in a forest. 

I admire those like El who keep fighting for life and love despite the immense challenges thrown at them. Writing is one way to find our path, purpose and vision, and for about twenty years I've run workshops which focus on creativity and healing. I've witnessed countless people connect through artistic and literary expression to the things which are most important to them and to moving forward with meaning and heart beyond the obstacles life has thrown.  See Workshops
