BOOKS

I love writing books: they allow more room to explore a topic, to really dive in deep and examine something. When a book is combined with travel, food, or spirituality, I am truly in my element as both a writer and an anthropologist.

In addition to my published books, I have three books for which I am seeking agent representation and a publisher:

  • A proposal and a manuscript for a travel narrative about trekking on footpaths throughout northern Spain in search of the sacred feminine and THE ULTIMATE SURF SPOT.
  • A historical mystery novel set in Morocco, Spain, and North America and in two time-frames, 17th century and the present.
  • A children's book, Frog's Big Thought, which I also illustrated with watercolor paintings. You can view some of the paintings from this book in the Power Animals section of the Gallery.
