More About This Book

Overview

Briefly, this fun and funny, utterly improbably story centers on Merry, the Rainbow Witch who recruits three children, Cammie, a thirteen year old, Einstein, a ten year old and little Jaime to the fantastic land of Semit End to help battle the impending Darkness, a well drawn metaphor for the post 9/11 trouble of our times. Semit End is populated by numerous hilarious and heart warming characters: the cynical Cat and the noble Bear Dog, whom Merry gives voices too, Joe, the selfish and childish king, who celebrates his birthday everyday with big parties and lots of presents because he forgot his real birthday and he doesn’t want to miss it, his faithful friend, Pip, the poet of Semit End who never speaks because he lives his poetry (saying the most with the least), the astronomer of Semit End who searches the stars for heaven: “We know it’s up but where?” and all the other witches of Semit End: Ariel, the Wing Witch and her feathered friends, Tew Pord, the water witch, Esmerelda, the forest witch and Firestone, the bad witch. Along the way the children discover the true nature of love, the fantastic magic in Joe’s castle, all about fun, why wise men are often not, the essential difference between bad and evil and most important, how to stop the Darkness.

Meet the Author

I was born and raised in San Francisco, California. I moved south to finish my college degree at the University of California at Irvine. Here I fell instantly and madly in love with one of my professors,whom I finally convinced to marry me. While most of my life force was sucked up by a steady stream of kids, dogs and cats, I managed to write a few books.

I currently live in Laguna Beach, California.Things I love: life, the ocean, good books, Ashtanga yoga, redwood forests, most people, all animals, long walks and stormy nights. In addition to historical romance novels, I write children’s novels and non-fiction, plays and screenplays.

Now, about e-publishing: I am a voracious reader,
and between my friends and I, we have
sony readers, kindles, nooks, and quite a few Ipads.
Ebooks are an amazing development in the ancient
art of reading and writing. I wanted to be a part of it.
Fortunately, historical romances never go out of date or fashion.

I am currently working on a novel The Weight
of God.

I love hearing from readers--contact me at !
