Hi everyone! I blather about my writing, horses, occasional nature commentary, science fiction, fantasy, and other stuff here.

Take a journey into the wide open spaces with me—a perspective from a rural-identified older woman.

Want to know about my books? Go to the Joyce’s Books tab here.

Note: This is an AI-free space. As a former special education teacher, I spent too much time working with cognitive assessments to give much credence to the possibility of artificial general intelligence happening anytime soon.

I DO NOT USE AI to generate my ideas, write my text, or do my edits for me (as someone who does editing on the side, I have my own little tells. Just be prepared to face my scorn if you use “free reign” instead of “free rein” because that tells me you haven’t proofread your work and depend on what Word tells you. Yes, I Have Opinions, just like my ancient chestnut mare).
