The poems in EVIDENCE OF FLOSSING: WHAT WE LEAVE BEHIND are, at their heart, love poems to the something greater within all of us. Inspired by Henry David Thoreau, John Muir, and Mary Oliver, naturalist Jen Payne explores the essence of spiritual ecology: the human condition juxtaposed to the natural world and the possibility of divine connection. NPR contributor David Berner calls it, "an unflinching account of our unshakeable relationship to the modern world…God, nature, and ourselves."80 original and vintage color photographs include a series of discarded dental flossers that prompted the title of the book.

LOOK UP! Musings on the Nature of Mindfulness is an antidote to the frenetic pace of this world. It is a clarion call to get up and get out - to look up from our work, our distractions, our routines - and find our way back to the simple pleasure of being in Nature. This is a journal of one woman's reconnection with Nature, told through heartfelt essays and poems by writer/artist Jennifer Payne, and illustrated by 100 stunning, full-color photographs of the woods and shoreline of Connecticut. Woven in between, you'll meet kindred spirits like Emily Dickinson, Henry David Thoreau, the Dalai Lama and Jon Kabat-Zinn, each expressing their own thoughts on the vast and wonderful lessons to be learned from the natural world.

"She thought about him often over the years. Looked him up online occasionally to see where he was and if he was all right. It wasn't until last fall that she found his email address, and several months more before she got up the courage to write."So begins the epistolary novel WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE by Connecticut writer Jen Payne, a sort-of love story told through a series of emails, about two people who reconnect after 15 years apart and work to reconcile their pasts...and futures.¿ Influenced by the work of Brené Brown and a proponent of the bravery of storytelling, Payne says "WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE is about having the courage to speak our truths; it's about trust and vulnerability, and about the true blessings found when we open our hearts - come what may."¿ For more information, visit www.3chairspublishing.com.
