Life springs from death. This redwood tree was gutted and ravished by a fire... yet she rose again. What was once a small shoot has now become the new trunk of the tree. #redwoods #wanderthewoods #santacruzauthor #northerncalifornia https://www.instagram.com/p/B1EuN5HA5YO/?igshid=9mi5nvkfmlgs

Beautiful Santa Cruz - one of Adam's surf spots, the Boardwalk, and the wharf... Three key locations in Ophelia! Even if you can't visit, you can travel vicariously in the novel. 😉 #kmrice #kmriceauthor #wildlings #santacruz #santacruzauthor #californiacoast #boardwalk #santacruzbeachboardwalk #westcliff #santacruzpier #santacruzauthor https://www.instagram.com/p/BzLx5cAAPZD/?igshid=nvaisfjc1t8s

I had a fantastic time today indulging my inner sprite with a hike, wondering at all the damage and new growth that winter's storms have wrought. 🌧🌲🌩 How are you indulging your wildling side this weekend? #kmriceauthor #kmrice #wildlings #nature #hiking #wanderingwriter #wanderthewoods #santacruzmountains #santacruzauthor #woodnymph #naturesprite #indepenedentauthor #indieauthor https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs1xMHZgRKG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k8lpfipoheju

I'm working on a novella about a scamp set in County Clare. This character has lived with me for over a decade now and has taken several forms. It's time for one of his earlier iterations to see the light! 🍀🇮🇪🍀 #kmrice #kmriceauthor #wildlings #amwriting #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #ireland #countyclare #cliffsofmoher #irishstory #independentauthor #indieauthor #santacruzauthor https://www.instagram.com/p/BsMkZUMACXb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1878c32gmvnoy
