I write stories about life on a small, sufficiency farm in the wild, wet, southwestern hills of Ireland. I raise goats and sheep for food and fibre, and I work closely with the animals and the land in an effort to live a life of authenticity and connection. My days break with dawn, follow the curve of the seasons, and tether me to the rhythms of the land. The animals are the soul and sustenance of my farm and I write about all of it, from the blood of birth to the mud of death. I hope my stories here tell of my love and reverence for the land and the animals that feed us, and convey my deeply held conviction of our place as humans on the land, as herders, gardeners, and farmers.
My words are my art and always human. I endeavour to write fortnightly, or as regularly as my caprine queens and benevolent sheep allow me.
