Jeanne Treat was born and raised in Western New York, near the shores of the mighty Niagara. The great-granddaughter of a Native American medicine woman, she also has ancestry from Scotland, England, and France. To research her book, she traveled to Scotland to visit castles, seaports, and stone circles, and talk to local historians. To make it authentic, she investigated ancient earth-based spiritual traditions and healing arts.
Dark Birthright will be followed by a sequel named Dark Lord. The sequel will be released in 2009.
Jeanne also has plans for a historical romance set in the days of the gold rush and a dark fantasy called The Wolfshifter Chronicles.
Ms Treat has published in local and regional newspapers, anthologies, and magazines. She has spoken on diverse topics including Spirit Guides and Totem Animals, The Law of Attraction, and Chaos Theory and the Butterfly Effect.
