My fingers always seek the little welt to worry it.” Gillian Haines is a writer, editor, and prison volunteer. When she was nine, her family boxed their settee and their spatulas and sailed south of the equator. She was reborn to a sunburned land where Australians are only patriotic about beach-towels. She never thought she would leave, but met an American, thirty-thousand feet above the ground, where the normal rules of interaction do not apply. The day after they bought a 1930’s Spanish Revival house in Tucson, her young, scientist husband was felled to the carpet by a catastrophic stroke. Isolated and without friends in a desert city, she volunteered to visit four men in maximum-security prison. Gillian and the prisoners were on identical journeys. Their lives had shrunk. They were struggling to regain themselves, to deepen and grow lives that they no longer recognized. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601715f605ed324961a3e562/1612130522833-RBXG7KDXIU4S12A5IP5C/Gillian+Haines+KI+mage.jpg About Gillian Haines - Her memoir writing appears in magazines and literary journals like The Tishman Review, Cherry Tree, Edible Baja, Bridge Eight, Santa Clara Review, The Illanot Review, Soltice, Flying South, and BioStories. Editors selected her stories for inclusion in two anthologies: Encounters and Stories from the Other Side, a Pearson college textbook. Her Fragile Landscapes was nominated for the Pushcart Prize. Gillian has found friends in a supportive writing community and has put down roots in a land where saguaros bloom beside dry riverbeds. In a parched land where hummingbirds thrum and where her heart recognizes more than the desert’s thirst. https://www.gillianhaines.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-07-23 https://www.gillianhaines.com/published-works daily 0.75 2021-07-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601715f605ed324961a3e562/1627074411290-D61BGNRKDYSWGXEH5RCM/Screen+Shot+2021-07-23+at+4.11.59+PM.png Published Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601715f605ed324961a3e562/1627074483039-WQVRWGERIX9HYMJL1ICQ/Screen+Shot+2021-07-23+at+4.10.59+PM.png Published Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601715f605ed324961a3e562/1627074526311-5HKCO9380FQT8CLR3WPE/Screen+Shot+2021-07-23+at+4.02.11+PM.png Published Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601715f605ed324961a3e562/1627074560713-MOCFBW1A2LAGN5UENISC/Screen+Shot+2021-07-23+at+4.02.39+PM.png Published Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601715f605ed324961a3e562/1627074634405-7JPA3KND6Y58ICPC1VSO/Screen+Shot+2021-07-23+at+4.03.17+PM.png Published Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601715f605ed324961a3e562/1627074691520-IT0EP2TK3IFE39TU26WI/Screen+Shot+2021-07-23+at+4.02.59+PM.png Published Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601715f605ed324961a3e562/1627074742380-S13DAXEKRK5AGAQSAGBY/Screen+Shot+2021-07-23+at+4.11.39+PM.png Published Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601715f605ed324961a3e562/1627074775409-AKRU3IY79VXLFI8FIBR3/Screen+Shot+2021-07-23+at+4.20.06+PM.png Published Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601715f605ed324961a3e562/1627074831217-7QJ7UTAYUBK15AKYN887/Screen+Shot+2021-07-23+at+4.12.22+PM.png Published Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601715f605ed324961a3e562/1627074847931-GMXSDBZ77EV1E0B1VW97/Screen+Shot+2021-07-23+at+4.20.29+PM.png Published Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601715f605ed324961a3e562/1627075974883-Q7XUGZID07INEGB3IR6Y/Screen+Shot+2021-07-23+at+5.22.20+PM+%283%29.png Published Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601715f605ed324961a3e562/1627075998424-3LE4W7G8QIMVV69N4FUD/Screen+Shot+2021-07-23+at+5.26.58+PM.png Published Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601715f605ed324961a3e562/1627077691352-8RDE0NMV13EDYOI3VKAZ/1627075691681blob+%282%29.png Published Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601715f605ed324961a3e562/1627079013954-HEBX4947LLD8RXFKJPTY/Screen+Shot+2021-07-23+at+6.21.10+PM.png Published Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601715f605ed324961a3e562/1627079115762-LXIVYDZUP4LY52UKAGWT/Screen+Shot+2021-07-23+at+6.21.47+PM.png Published Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601715f605ed324961a3e562/1627079182521-2RUYXPZU08DF8WRX86DE/Screen+Shot+2021-07-23+at+6.22.31+PM.png Published Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601715f605ed324961a3e562/1627079291084-OH0S4X2PVLCB71SEA8AJ/Screen+Shot+2021-07-23+at+6.27.06+PM.png Published Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601715f605ed324961a3e562/1627318769354-ZUFQMWU5A24D4EINIPLE/Screen+Shot+2021-07-26+at+12.58.43+PM.png Published Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601715f605ed324961a3e562/1627319141731-542DX624MYCDUNA3BUE5/image+%281%29.png Published Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601715f605ed324961a3e562/1627319534014-1EI1OUQNYNZO8KMWVM8F/t_pgAzSg_400x400.jpg Published Works https://www.gillianhaines.com/current-projects daily 0.75 2021-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601715f605ed324961a3e562/1627076973926-4RJQXPM2Z5MKGJQF19PB/Gillian+Haines+LEAP Current Projects - LEAP Chasing Cockatoos, a Kangaroo, and the Mysteries of Love Narrative nonfiction manuscript. 78,104 words A dreamy civil servant leaves the city to follow a square-jawed scientist she barely knows to a remote Australian island to save an endangered cockatoo.
