Fourth Book in the Southern Swallow Series finds the Academician Li K'ai-men in exile on Hai-nan Island. China has a new invasion threat. A showdown between ingenuity and technology explodes as the Sung Dynasty tries to preserve itself.
I love to write coming of age stories that take place in an earlier time in our history.
Background
Information
I am a fan of James Michener's writing, following people through the years. I wrote nonfiction until someone in my read and critique group suggested I try a novel. I did, and have loved writing novels ever since. It's like playing dolls when I was young where I could dress the dolls, speak for them, and put them in whatever situations I wanted.
Birth Place
Windsor, VT
Accomplishments
I have a framed letter James Michener wrote to me in response to a letter I sent him about one of his books.
I was president of the Alpine, CA Writers Guild and am currently president of the Garner, NC Writers Guild.
