Hours upon hours of sitting in the garden, observing nature, and the light holding us all in every season has opened a wellspring of stories I want to share with you.
But I won’t be the Narrator at all.
What if the oak tree had a heart? The daisy was a legend? Did I tell you about the Robin who keeps time like a grandfather clock? Or Harriet who builds a nest in my porch rafters every spring?
Perhaps everything in my garden has a voice, a point of view, and is living out incredible stories while I go about mine.
In fact, I am sure that they do. Garden of Green Fables is bursting with life!
Consider this new writing venture a fable meets folktale meets fiction but everything about the stories will be grounded in real life.
Perhaps even reminiscent of yours.
Each excerpt from the Garden of Green Fables series will be shared as a novelette, released seasonally, and sent chapter-by-chapter to your inbox via Substack. At no cost to you!✨️
Depending on how the stories from Green Fables are received will determine what we do next! Perhaps an entire book published in 2027 or thereabouts with all the novelettes bundled together.
Time will tell!
But for now expect to be immersed in Green Fables each season as personal stories get told by the garden characters who are grappling with light, life, and what it means to live.
The first novelette, The Heart of Hugh, is complete and is available as a free pdf download to be read at your leisure.
Under the Wilderness Moon and Gold in the Weeping Sky can both be read on my Substack. And there is more to come!
Subscribe to my Substack – Green Fables to get the chapters sent straight to you each week whenever a new novelette launches in the series!
(You don’t need a Substack to subscribe. This is just like signing up to a newsletter list. Just type in your email. The Green Fables series free.)
I am so excited about the stories headed your way!
