Welcome!
I’ve created this website to share my writings with you and inspire interest in creative writing, storytelling and the power of the mythic imagination.
My books and courses invite people into myths, fairytales, and dreams. Using the tools of the storyteller and the fiction writer, they demonstrate how we can open up the wondrous space of the myths and find out what they have to say to us.
My approach has been influenced by many great storytellers, including Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, Marie Louise von Franz and P.L. Travers. But I’ve probably learned the most from being a storyteller myself—telling fairy tales and myths, wrestling with their depths, and connecting them to the challenges of everyday life.
On my website, you’ll find ways to inspire your own explorations of myth through writing and storytelling. I’ve just introduced a special section called People in Myth that will introduce you to some wonderful people and who have been altered by a myth or fairy tale that they’ve ventured into.
