About Me and my Blog

I am Evelyn J. Willburn, a retired educator who is fortunate enough to live in the rain forest of Southeast Alaska. I love to write! I find great inspiration in where I live (Craig, Alaska), in where I grew up (Powhatan, Virginia), from my husband and grown sons, my two excellent sisters, my extended family and friends, my pets and my garden, and the world all around me.

In addition to my own writing, I am posting work by other writers, including my late father and my very talented sister Laura.

My sister Mary hasn’t contributed any writing yet, but she is busy volunteering all over town and keeping her garden free of groundhogs.
