• About this blog:

  APOLOGIES: Lots going on in my life right now, so I'm taking bit of a break from the blog. I'll be back...
  Everything is connected to everything else. Right?
  Sometimes, the way many of us live today, it’s hard to see how.
  My weekly blog posts (Wednesdays) explore connections - obvious ones as well as more subtle ones - with the hope of generating insight and discussion, and perhaps some new ways of looking at old things.

  Where is Jacqueline right now?
  Mostly hanging around close to home in Port Alberni, juggling the three main things in my life: writing, gardening, adventuring (mainly running and cycling right now).
  What's new?
  My running buddy and I have been doing so many great, long and scenic trail runs around Port Alberni that we started a photo blog. Check it out: http://daveandjackierun.wordpress.com
  
  
  I'm busy working on my first screenplay, as well as finishing up the writing on my next book, My Secret Sasquatch (and other possibilities). This is a very fun book for me - a collection of stories that slide around in that zone between fact and fiction, all set on the wild west coast of Vancouver Island. Click on the cover image to visit the book's website.
  Following my visit this winter to Navarino Island (Chilean Patagonia), I'm excited to be working with my collaborator Cristina Zárraga, to release a North American English-language edition of Hai kur mamashu shis, the collection of traditional Yagán tales that I translated from Spanish to English. I'm looking at printing and distribution options now, and am aiming for a release in 2012. I'm also thinking about book tour venues - let me know if you have ideas!
  I also have four previously published books.

• Who is Jacqueline Windh?

  I am both a scientist and a communicator: writer, photographer, and broadcaster. I don't believe in limiting myself to one medium to convey my ideas. It's not that big a deal to master the technology; I use the medium that best suits my story.
  I am author or co-author of four published books (and there are more coming!) and my articles and stories have been published in quality magazines and newspapers around the world.
  My photographs have appeared in magazines around the world and in four solo shows in Canada and Europe.
  My radio documentaries have played on CBC Radio (Canada) and internationally.

  I'm having fun with the pix, so will be switching them around from time to time.
  I feel like we need something happy here... or at least I do. So here are some sunflowers! I actually photographed these ones in Villarica, Chile, several years ago (the bright colours exaggerated due to a polarizing filter).
  But here in Port Alberni, my sunflowers are just on the edge of blooming. I'm forward to their bright faces, nodding over my veggie garden.
