                                                  ATTENTION BOOK CLUBS
It’s wonderful to meet with people who have read my books and want to learn more.  Book club members enjoy finding out about what inspired the story and characters, along with gaining insight beyond what they get from reader discussions alone.  
Contact me via the website for more information and to schedule a visit. I will travel within a reasonable distance, host Skype events, or accept telephone chats with book clubs.

 The Book of Numbered Souls

The fifth book in the Etched in Granite Historical Fiction Series is in progress.
Although more doors continue to open, I assure you this is the last book in this series. There has been much discovery related to this era in our history, much of it similar to what we are currently experiencing. However, all the other stories and words I have penned patiently wait and will finally come to light.

Are you interested in the wild plant medicine presented in "Etched in Granite?" 
Although Nanatasis (Nellie) does not speak aloud, her profound wisdom shines through. Many of the plant medicines and remedies expressed in her narrative are available at my studio, Marigold Moon Wildcraft Apothecary and North Sandwich Tea.
I walk amongst my ancestors, hearing their whispers, learning the healing path.
For more information, contact me.

In addition to being featured at historical societies, bookstores, literary clubs, and libraries, please be reminded that I am scheduling educational programs. The material covered in the EIG Historical Fiction Series is appropriate for most junior and senior high school students. I have two specific programs designed; one is literary and the other is historical. I have participated as a presenter at college conferences and facilitate historical fiction workshops.
