About the Creator

Jason Sheehan

I am a conservation biologist, but words and creativity have always been my favourite tools. I like to integrate possibility with fiction in what I write. A spark quickly sets fire to my mind.

Many thanks, and please consider sharing.

    Your photo goes with your beautiful words so well. Stars, stone and home. Uplifting.

    When it comes to living around mountains the only light that is granted is borrowed from the absence of their shadow. Makes me want to go home.
