Growing up in the Appalachian Mountains of New Jersey and spending many years of my life amid the vast greenery that is Penn's Woods, most of my early writing centers in the Northeast.

I started with wildflower walks, the crimson trillium my favorite of spring flora, and expanded into local history, culture, and geologic features.

Even after moving away, I've had the pleasure of road-tripping through the region for many years, following intriguing threads of stories down through the Shenandoah Valley and up into New England.
