In the dark, warm air
stokes its breath,
eyes dawn’s snowflakes.
Winter
starts to die.

Hello, friends. I’m Ellen, and I’m glad you’ve joined me. I share writing here, mostly by me, sometimes by others. Check the sidebars for publication news and tweets about my novel-in-progress. When I’m not sitting in the corner of the sofa writing, I’m riding horses, keeping honey bees, or playing with the cat. I love to hear from you, so please drop a comment or send me a line.
