- About Me and My Book:
- I'm a writing coach and workshop leader with two books out...
The first book, The MoonQuest, is a visionary fantasy set in a time and place where stories and storytelling have been outlawed and bards have been put to death. In reaction, the moon has gone dark.
Now, one young bard is forced out of hiding to embark on the long-prophesied journey to restore story and vision to the silenced land and light to a darkened moon.
The MoonQuest's theme is directly linked to another aspect of my work: I lead creative writing workshops and work one-on-one as a creativity coach — helping people to break through blocks to creativity and connect with the voice of their muse.
The Voice of the Muse: Answering the Call to Write is also the title of my book and companion CD of writing inspiration, exercises and techniques (Lightlines Media).
In effect, The Voice of the Muse and The MoonQuest — and all the work I do — tell the same story: one of breaking the silence and rekindling creative fire and life spirit.

Great seeing you here. As you know, I spend much of my time at FB. I am thinking that our talk could
be a writer's block. Maybe you, me and another author can discuss how to break through blocks! Something I know you know a lot about!
