Welcome!

LEAVES 🌿 are perfect every morning with your coffee and toast, and much better for your mental health than the daily newspaper or social media. They offer a little respite from this mad world for a few minutes each day.

LEAVES 🌿 is not a blog. It will not help you get fit, or save the planet, or organize your closet, or make a great lasagna. You will find no gossip or politics here, but you will find:

  • worthy character-driven micro-fiction

  • evocative tales from a woman who’s traveled solo for 40 years

  • the Katy Stories from a family unlike your own

  • the Haylene and Marla stories -two loose women on an eternal road trip in a ‘79 Camaro

  • Pawed Casts and stories by Raymond the cat who has a large fan base who call themselves the Raybots

  • the full-length tale of Bartle Clunes, life in the California foothills, 1949
