about peregrine
peregrine leads a quiet life in her native New England, loving and grateful for its farms, forests, rivers, and meadows, and especially grateful for its northern rocky shore, where her heart lies. A lifelong love of words, writing, and ideas has led her through a small but varied life experience that has encompassed research and library management, technical and creative writing, editing, indexing, and more. Since the days of her childhood on a very modest small farm, where rambling in wild woods and meadows was as essential to a growing child as reading and music, she has been a keen observer of nature, and writes often about our response to the wild world. peregrine is close friends with several particular trees at her home and at various places around New England, recognizes the individual birds and bears that come through her corner of the world, and has developed a special expertise in observing and describing how the wind and sun play on the waters of a favorite little saltwater bay at the rocky shore.
