I'm a University Lecturer in English and the author of a novel, The Secret of Hurricanes (MacAdam/Cage 2002). My life is summed up by Rumi, who said: "My story gets told in various ways: a romance, a dirty joke, a war, a vacancy." Rumi's quote is the epigraph to Hurricanes. The purpose of this journal is to explore creativity and the writing life.

oh, picking them as a child in the deep woods and deer would walk by and we would send our dog bounding to scare away the snakes. That is one of the few good childhood memories that is untainted for me. Thank you.
