Kristin Fields, Author of A Lily in the Light (Copy)

Richly written, full of magical realism and deeply atmospheric, The Kiminee Dream is as much a love letter to the interconnected lives of small town residents as it is a testament to how inexplicably linked our lives are, no matter how far removed.

Gina R. Mitchell, iReadBook Tours

The author is an extraordinary storyteller. The slow-building of the story, the twists in the path, and how it all ties together in unexpected ways at the end make The Kiminee Dream one of the best books I've read in a while.

What I'm working on now

My current project is a novel set in 1974 on the fictional Shinbone Lane in San Francisco. It's a magical place that draws footloose people seeking things they can't quite articulate. I’ve reached a point in the narrative where I need to divulge how Shinbone Lane got its name. This will be a short story within the main story. I did a lot of brainstorming and discarded several ideas on the name’s origin, but I’ve landed on one now that I think has legs. Click below to read the beginning of the story within the story.
