In Philadelphia getting ready to speak at the National Public Library Convention
I'm in Philadelphia getting ready to speak at the national public libraries convention.
All the librarians and publishers in the world are going to be in one place, and I get to tell them a small part of my story - the story my parents began on the land they homesteaded near Homer, Alaska. OK, well maybe not from all around the world, but certainly around the United States.
What an incredible honor!
Thank you Mom and Dad, Yule and Ruth.

What It’s Like To Live In Alaska (Winter Edition)
So. Much. Snow.
CLICK HERE - for my first Alaska video:
Hi there! I was born and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska and I adore being from this beautiful state — icy winters and all! While I live in Los Angeles now, I love any excuse to travel to my home state, so when my dad suggested I make a sequel to my first Alaska video (“What it’s like to live in Alaska”) my response was “HELL YEAH!!” (Thanks for the plane ticket, Dad!)
This video was so fun to make. While I technically shot it alone in Alaska, it was far from a solitary endeavor. A big thank you to Fahrenheit-Be-Darned Running Club for appearing in this video, to my dad for the plane ticket and to both my parents for tips on where to get good winter shots, to my sister for the nostalgic brainstorm session that resulted in this list, and to my best friend Caitlin Cowie for her awesome feedback on this edit and for editing the first Alaska video which I used as a template for this one! Couldn’t have done it without you guys! Love you so much.

Salmonfest 2019 Teaser
Salmonfest has become widely recognized both nationally and within the state as the most compelling and dynamic event in Alaska. Every year more than 8,000 people turn the Kenai Peninsula village of Ninilchik into a small city as families and friends fill the region with fish, love, and music. The three day weekend includes over 60 bands performing across four stages, Alaska’s top food, art and brews, as well as a science symposium, and daily children’s program.
We are proud that the Salmonfest family extends internationally and throughout the lower 48. In 2018, tickets were purchased in nine countries and over 40 states. While the majority of attendees come for the music, fun, and friends, the underlying rallying cry is for salmon and the waters and wilds that sustain the precious species. It’s a priority for Salmonfest to distribute proceeds each year in an effort to keep conservation work going. Contributions of over $35,000 were delivered to an array of organizations on the front lines of the struggle to preserve and protect Alaskan salmon. Since 2015, the festival has donated over $150,000 to Alaska’s premier salmon and environmental conservation organizations. Our long-standing sponsors and beneficiaries include: Kachemak Bay Conservation Society, Cook InletKeeper, two long standing Homer-based non profit organizations that seek to educate the public, and both protect and promote Alaska’s fish filled waters. In 2019, another 501C3, ARCHES Alaska will provide stewardship of the festival.
Major beneficiaries of festival proceeds include Kachemak Bay Conservation Society, Cook InletKeeper, ARCHES Alaska, Alaskans Know Climate Change, Musicians United to Protect Bristol Bay, United Tribes of Bristol Bay, and Stand for Salmon. Other organizations that have received donations from Salmonfest include: 4 Valleys Community School, Alaska Sudan Medical Project for Clean Water, Taste of Kenai, Public Radio stations- KDLL, KBBI, KNBA, KMXT, KVMR, Ninilchik Chamber of Commerce, Homer Library, Ninilchik School Basketball, Pier One Theater, August Fund (Iditarod Dog Rescue), Stanislaus River Museum, and Kenai Peninsula Fairgrounds.
