Coming Soon:
Girl Without End
As an editor, I'm up for a writing challenge.
How about merging historical fiction and memoir?
Girl Without End is a little bit of each.
​
It tells the story of my great-aunt Edna Breazeale (well, it's a little more complicated than that), who was a teacher. An environmentalist. And a feminist role model for my sisters and me.
She left behind a legacy that has touched thousands of lives and altered the shape of Washington forever.
Edna Breazeale, circa 1913

Giving a Voice to the Past
Bringing to life the stories of our past can help us better understand where we started, where we're going, and how far we've come.
Set on the same Skagit County site and told in three parts—August of 1915, 1978, and 2023—Girl Without End explores the intersection of yesterday and tomorrow, highlighting the connection between us and the people who come before and after us.
​
So much changes. But so much stays the same.
It also introduces readers to Edna Breazeale and the origin story of the Padilla Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve.
