| Not quite sure what you are looking for: do you want to know if anyone on the list uses nature for fiction, or if fiction writers in general use nature. I am new to this list, so cannot answer the first, but there are definately writers that base their novels on nature. Brother Cadfael was a mystery that frequently used his knowledge of nature to solve the mystery. Susan Whittig ALbert also does mystery based on knowledge of nature (herbs). |

| What aspects of nature are you considering? Nature wild and raw? Nature as she manifests herself in daily events? Nature as a deity? Natural farming? Living in harmony with nature? |

| Most of my writing is non-fiction – garden advice, commentary and garden how-to. But I am also working on a novel that has a garden theme running through it. What I love about the novel (vs. my other garden writing) is that I am constantly being surprised… the novel is more a collaboration between the characters and me. During the growing season I have little time for the novel, but now, in winter, I can work for hours at a time without watching the clock… a true luxury. |

| With a name like "Esopus" -- are you planning on writing in the style of John Burroughs? |
