Creative Writing, Hiking/ Nature Walks, Reading, Cooking, Ceramics, Crafting

I enjoy writing short stories and am working on a historical psychological thriller novel at the moment that will be part of a series. I really enjoy being out in nature as much as possible where I can recharge my spirit and draw creative energy from the environment for my art and writing endeavors. I love going on moderately challenging hikes and long walks and winding down afterwards with doing yoga stretches at home. I have always felt at peace when crafting paper mache objects including doing origami and have a talent with making ceramic tableware and household decorations.
