A Great Big Lark is a personal blog that I began as a place to practice and experiment with my writing, and to record and flesh out stories I was finding while researching my family’s history here in the Chesapeake Bay region.I enjoy exploring the historical and geographical contexts of my family stories, but I also write about folklore and regional history. Many of my posts are parts of a ‘work in progress’ of connected essays, and some of my posts are just "thoughts."
