I am a nature writer based in The Texas Hill Country.
I am not a thrill-seeker or an adrenaline junkie; I am a curiosity chaser. My adventures look different. They are about settling in and making connections; they are about everyday ecology, the beauty and the struggles of place. They are about listening and gathering. They are about noticing.

Stories that explore the relationships between people, the land, and the natural world.
Navigating Rocky Terrain
In Navigating Rocky Terrain, a nature memoir in essays, Laurie Roath Frazier explores the subterranean in search of footholds to move forward in an ever-changing landscape. The journey begins soon after her mother’s diagnosis of dementia. As Frazier hikes through Canyon Lake Gorge, an enormous scar left behind by a megaflood, questions emerge. What is life like in cracked and disturbed places? How do people and places—plants, animals, and the land—heal following a disturbance? How does life flourish in the shadow of an uncertain future? These questions continue to guide Frazier through the limestone terrain of the Texas Hill Country.
