"She sees the details. She observes with wonder. I, on the other hand, am constantly adjusting my lens. Or not looking at all." Cheri Lucas Rowlands reflects on 2024 and revisits #longreads by jenny odell, Robin Wall Kimmerer, 𝒲𝒾𝓁𝓁𝒶 𝒦ö𝑒𝓇𝓃𝑒𝓇 〰 🦋, ₠, Ferris Jabr, Benji Jones,

The CryptoNaturalist podcast is taking a bit of a break while I work on an exciting (and related) book project.

Honored to find Something in the Woods Loves You on The Marginalian's favorite books of 2024 list: themarginalian.org/2024/12/17/bes…

“The woods is a place where we feel grand mysteries and tease out the spiderweb strands that connect us to them and, ultimately, us to ourselves.” — Jarod K. Anderson, Something in the Woods Loves You

I plucked up an acorn, thinking I would find a place to plant it. Not by the road. Not in the mowed field by the cemetery. Not in a stranger's lawn. There's something about an errand to plant an oak that shows what troubles our world, a place where a new tree is inconvenient.

I'll be at The Book Loft of German Village this Friday (1/10) at 7PM. I plan to read from Something in the Woods Loves You, take questions, and sign books. Hope to see you there! 631 South Third Street Columbus, OH 43206-1025

You know, you can see (many of) my posts and follow me for free on P@treon. Given the chaotic nature of social media, it's a good place to guarantee you'll see my writing/news. Take a sec and find me there.

A huge part of creativity is just shrugging off the fear of being ridiculous.

I have a quick favor to ask. If you enjoyed my book(s), please take a sec to leave a review on goodreads and/or amazon. Reviews help people find my work. (Also, I read them.)

A cardinal just landed on a winter-bare lilac bush ten inches from my office window. Red feathers. Black pearl of an eye. Carrot orange beak. He just clung to his little branch, swayed with the wind, looked at me and then flew off across the street. What a world this is...

Writing some longer pieces on Patreon. Find me there (and you can follow for free). Link in bio.

Still posting on other platforms. Pretty much all of them.

Just a reminder...
