New short story about whales, myth, and magic in About Place Journal

Dec 22

In 2012, I went to the San Juan Islands for the first time. We stayed on Friday Harbor, and it was a trip so breathtaking, so full of whales and magical sailboats that it inspired a short story. And now that short story’s found a home in the About Place Journal, the When We Are Lost/How We Are Found Issue.

I’m thrilled this little myth has made its way into the world. You can read “When They Came,” here. And look at a few snaps from that magical trip, below. Whales for everyone!
