My writing reaches to convey the spirits of a place in time, its stories, and the interactions of all its creatures. One pre-publication reader calls California Medieval “a gorgeously written, transporting account of such a distinct place, time, and experience. I’ve already told several potential readers to be on the lookout for it!” |

CALIFORNIA MEDIEVAL is an intriguing hybrid memoir interspersed with poetry, song, and lyrical vignettes. It explores the world of a Franciscan convent during the heyday of the flower-power 1960s in San Francisco, as seen through the eyes of a novice nun, newly arrived in the Bay Area from a small ranch in rural southwestern Washington State. This book is a stylistically and structurally adventurous narrative that forms a literary intersection of music, spirituality, nature, sociology, and sexuality. Written in an engaging, wryly humorous voice, this vivid story of early adulthood at a convent is sure to draw readers who are curious about cloistered life at a time when our society was in the midst of its own spiritual and social awakening.
