This is my home for storytelling — a memoir in progress, field guides on nature and everyday enchantment, and the ongoing journal where I write about the place where science meets spirit.

Just me — Cristen. I’m a biologist by training and a storyteller by nature, and I write and build everything here myself.

Right here — every book and guide has a “Buy direct” option on its page. You’ll also find links to Amazon, Goodreads, Bookshop.org, and Barnes & Noble if you’d rather buy or review a title there.

Buying direct means the guide or book comes straight from me — for digital guides, that’s an instant secure download; for print titles, I ship or fulfill through a print-on-demand partner. It also supports my work most directly. Retailer links are there for convenience, and because I know plenty of readers prefer to buy and review books where they already shop.

The field guides are digital downloads you can read on any device — no special app required. You’ll get a secure download link by email right after purchase.

Not yet as a standing option, but keep an eye on the newsletter — I’ll announce it there if and when signed copies become available.

Sign up and you’ll get seasonal notes, first word on new writing, and early access to the memoir and new guides — plus a free starter guide when you join. I keep it occasional, never spammy.

Yes — visit the Work With Me page for details, or reach out directly if you have something specific in mind.
