About meI'm the author of two novels, most recently, The Salt God's Daughter (due out September 4th, 2012!), which was just chosen as a Library Journal's Editor's Pick from BEA. My first novel, The Language of Trees debuted in July 20, 2010. I'm a mother to three, a traveler to lost cities, and a collector of antiques.

An early review from Gregory Maguire (Wicked) for The Language of Trees:
“The Language of Trees, like Whitman’s Leaves of Grass though in a magic realist vernacular, refreshingly asserts that deeply American conviction: the gravest natural instinct is to heal and be healed. A shimmeringly heart-felt story.”
— Gregory Maguire, author of the Wicked series
