Praise for my first novel

[Brigid's Charge] uses the legend to get places, to say things about life and people and religion and things that matter.

--The Press of Atlantic City

One of the best novels concerned with women's spirituality. The fact that Lamb is a descendant of her heroine adds an especially magical note to her endeavor.

--Booklist

Highly recommended...

--Library Journal

A fascinating exploration of the origin and nature of what we have come to think of as witchcraft.

--San Francisco Chronicle

There isn't enough literature like Brigid's Charge around.

--San Francisco Bay Times

A well-crafted, imaginative tale, and terrific reading.

--The Midwest Book Review

A book of real magic which carries the reader along on a fast-moving stream of passion and truth.

--Bodega Bay Navigator

I found this book a real gem, and look forward to more from the author.

--Judge for the Benjamin Franklin Award

Who Am I?

Calliope's call — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 17:02:09 GMT

I've been writing seriously for twenty years, ever since an epiphany in Florence when I realized that I want to be a writer, I should be a writer. I returned and not long after started my first novel, Brigid's Charge, which was published in 1997. I recently finished my second novel, and just started my third.

To support myself these past twenty years, I've worked in nearly every aspect of publishing -- from production to editorial -- for publishers large and small. Before that I worked in documentary film and broadcast journalism.

I have an MFA in English and Creative Writing from Mills College and a Bachelor of Journalism from The University of Missouri-Columbia.
