Boozhoo, hello! I’m a writer, artist, and filmmaker from the Red Lake Nation of Anishinaabe in northern Minnesota. My literary works include the contemporary romance Native Love Jams; The Good Berry Cookbook: Harvesting and Cooking Wild Rice and Other Wild Foods; the middle-grade illustrated book Gidjie and the Wolves; and Girl Unreserved, a fictionalized retelling of my own coming of age tale; and coming August 2026, Patrick DesJarlait: Fine Artist. I also write screenplays and recently co-wrote, co-produced and acted in the film Ish Meets a Mermaid by Jonathan Thunder. My illustration work includes 5 books in the Minnesota Native American Lives series; as assistant illustrator for Gaa-pi-izhiwebak; and illustrator/penciller for Gidjie and the Wolves. My short works include recipes, essays, travel, poetry, and short stories. My nature photography has been shown in group exhibits. I’m also a jewelry maker working in beads and birch bark and try to keep my web store stocked with one of a-kind creations. I live in Duluth, MN with my husband, son, and a box turtle named Humpy.
