Come hear brief readings of 11 just-published books by a lively group of SinC NorCal authors at a fun and funky new bookstore near Union Square. Lisa Towles will MC.

Welcome to my website. Stories are collaborations among the writer, the editor…and the reader. I love it when readers tell me about insights they’ve had into my writing that I hadn’t even thought of. And, as a reader, I love to fill in details of people and place. Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice has spawned many movies, yet none of the Lizzys look like the one in my head.

I like writing historical fiction. Why? Researching a period is fun. Plus, people haven’t changed much over the millennia. Joy, jealousy, love, hate, laughter, misery. These are not new. A story seen from a distance in time gives resonance to the human condition. Homo sapiens? I think it’s just as apt to call ourselves Homo storytellers.
