About Me

I'm a spinster librarian who lives with a cat.

I was conceived in Canada, born in Seattle, raised in New Zealand, and emigrated to Scotland at the age of 31 (1997).

I write when I can find the time, and I believe in magic and ritual, although I can't explain why it works. I have no idea why we are here or how it all works, and I am deeply suspicious of anyone who claims to, from New Age gurus, through religious and political fundamentalists, to committed atheists (atheism is just another religion in my book).

Eating good food is my religious worship. The beach is my church. In Scotland, this means the big surf beaches on Lewis. Only wild, big surf beaches count.

I don't have many skills to keep me going past the fall of civilisation and the environment, as predicted by Derrick Jensen, my current philosopher/activist of note.
