Tegan Behel is a poet, novelist and screenwriter based in Santa Barbara, California.
I’ve dragged myself across the arid deserts of worthiness for too long, collecting sand in my shoes, and beetles in my hair. Not realizing that a handful of words arranged on a page are the oasis I have been seeking. With every word I write I can sigh with relief. Another part of my soul has escaped the prison of my body.
