Love of writing is something that's been with me much, much longer.When I think about what inspires me to write I always go back to where I'm from. Recently I had the chance to take a trip to my hometown and was reminded once again why I love it.
The South Shore of Lake Superior is exquisite, but remains undiscovered in many ways.

It has a quality of wildness that lends itself to creative sparks.


My writing also thrived because of the unwavering love of my wonderful family (that's my mom watching the island during our ferry ride. Hi Mom. Thanks for being you!!)

Places inspire me, but none quite as much as that very place where it all began.
What inspires you?
