Welcome!
Atop Monks Mound (Cahokia Mounds), 7 Feb 2021.
Ahoy! My name is Michaella Thornton, but all my friends call me Kella. I'm a lower Midwestern writer who loves exploring language, landscape, and literature. Love: cannoli, kayaking, stargazing, writing essays and flash prose, and my incredible daughter. Meh: Dating in midlife, subpar coffee, people who pronounce Missouri as Missourah, mayonnaise-based coleslaw, hopelessness.
