Can you tell us where
you come from?
I was born in the heart of San Francisco's Haight Ashbury and I graduated
from high school during the Summer of Love, a time of enormous exuberance and
vision, especially for those of us who didn't get caught up in the drug scene.
Free love wasn't my scene either, but I suspect "All you need is love"
instantly became my subconscious mantra, and in a sense, still is. I've spent
most of my life right here in the Bay Area, where I've been blessed with ready
access to the Human Potential and Goddess Spirituality movements since the
1970s. All of this colors my writing, dousing it with the qualities that
characterize the era--optimism, innovation, mysticism, alternate realities, and
concern for our environment. I've traveled abroad quite a bit in recent years
and have never found a more beautiful region than Northern California. The
stunning loveliness of Tuscany, where my novels about the Giuliana Legacy are
set, may be the one exception. Tuscany is physically very like California, only
less environmentally exploited and overdeveloped. The more I come to know it,
the more I love it. My husband and I plan to spend a good bit of time there in
the years ahead.
