The sky.

Eight places, drawn as land at night.

Every essay on Galena House Audio is set somewhere I have lived, and every one leaves a recipe. Touch a place on the map, or read on: the letter, the places, the essays, the kitchen.

First, the letter

Letters from the Desk.

Before the places and the essays, the one door the house owns. A letter when there is something worth sending: a new essay, a door that opens, the day the second book finds its home. Written before the house wakes, and worth reading twice.

Your address stays in this house and goes nowhere else. The letters are also kept in public on Substack, if you would rather not give an address at all.

You are on the list. The next letter will find you; the places and the essays are below.
The Places

Eight terrains, one returned to.
