A finished copy of BRIAN FROUD'S GREEN WOMEN anthology, featuring a green cover and a painting of a laughing Green Woman with leaves in her mouth, on a bed of grass. The text reads, "Words and stories of fantasy and myth from acclaimed women writers around the world. With provocative portraits from the 'grandfather of faerie art,' Brian Froud."

Friends! I have AMAZING news!

Guess who's a contributor to Brian and Wendy Froud's newest anthology, BRIAN FROUD'S GREEN WOMEN, edited by the fabulous @terriwindling.bsky.social? Meeeee! 🧚🏼🧚🏼🧚🏼

I wrote three pieces based on his gorgeous paintings. The book will be available for preorder on 6 October!

this is a coati, a mexican raccoon! it was huge and so cute! long face and long tail. brown and grays.

i wrote a short story for 1st time in a decade? i had a week long retreat and knew it was a bad and wrong beginning. but i kept writing and finished the story there. sometimes you have to trust writing the WRONG thing before writing the right thing. this coati cutie was my trip highlight! #amwriting

day 2 retreat: 576 words written. slow going as i’m setting up, and it’s not even the true beginning of the story yet. so much of writing is trusting yourself and your process. 💙 i’m as intuitive as a writer as i am in life. #amwriting
