Best-selling Author and Free Spirit

Hello, and welcome to my website! I am an author,  blogger, YouTuber, singer, and budding photographer. I live in a little village in Suffolk, UK, on the coast of the North Sea. I was born in Canada, but moved to the UK over twenty-five years ago.  The heathland, forest and shingle beaches where I live are so beautiful, and sing to my soul. Every day I am learning to deepen my connection to this land, and be inspired by its beauty, its challenges and its soulsong.

My books are based on aspects of Paganism, including Hedge Witchcraft and Druidry. I take my inspiration from nature, and use that in my spiritual practices which are shared through my writing. I have been a Witch for over 30 years, and studied Druidry when I moved to the British Isles. 

The flow of the seasons and the songs of the land are available to everyone who has an ear to listen. Wherever you are in the world, these wonderful forces of nature are all around you, from the rural countryside to the heart of a city. Explore them with me in the different facets of my work, and let your soul come home to nature.
