| Bio: | I live on a beautiful island in the Pacific Northwest of the United States with my husband, but no cats, no dogs. I have four children, and five grandchildren. We have lived on and traveled to many islands: Okinawa, Crete, the British Isles, Japan, Borneo (which is almost a mini-continent). I am an artist and writer. I’ve been writing since I was fourteen, have authored two language arts textbooks based on folktales, one ebook, Moon Tales, ISBN 1-58200-0445, two small cookbooks, and a historical novel, Rotaida and the Runestone ISBN 9661667-4-6, set in the late 8th century in Charlemagne’s kingdom. Her magic talisman, the rune Algiz, sometimes gets her in trouble, but at least once saves her life as she solves the mystery of her mother’s and her own true identity. Currently, I’m in the final stages of writing a sequel to Rotaida and the Runestone, continuing Rotaida’s adventures. Sent to eavesdrop on supposed Saxon spies, Rotaida is kidnapped by a witch and taken to another province under Frankish Rule. While escaping from her captors, she learns of a Saxon plot and sets out to track it down, almost losing her life when disguised as a Hessian boy she is forced into the Saxon army, and a battle against the Franks, but saved again by the rune and a family of trolls. | |||||
