Novelist WESTERLY (June 2, 2026), WINTER LOON (Little A) | caring human, traveler.
I’m excited to reveal the cover for my new novel WESTERLY. This gorgeous painting by Rebecca Aldernet represents so much to me and perfectly captures the coastal settings in Ireland and Maine. WESTERLY is about motherhood, sisterhood, secrets, silencing, and women, facing forward, into the wind.

Been thinking about this poem all day because I had to do a hard thing that is weirdly embarrassing. Looking forward to second guessing myself all night long.

Yeats Day and I’m thinking of my dad and wondering if he knew any other Yeats poem but this one:
A Drinking Song
Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That’s all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and I sigh.
A Drinking Song
Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That’s all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and I sigh.

In between doom-scrolling and hand-wringing, I’m watching eagle eggs hatch at Big Bear Lake and wondering what it would be like to have a giant bird take you under her wing, keep you warm, and protect you.
