I’m the author of Bright Face of Danger (originally published by St. Martin’s Press 1993; revised and re-released in September 2010). Bright Face of Danger has been published in four separate French editions: as Fatale Vengeance (Harlequin) and, most recently, as L’Innocence du Mal (Mira Books and Harlequin Bestsellers 2009). Other published novels are: Pursued, A Perfect Gem, and Heaven Falls won first place Reader Views award in 2011. The Wine-Dark Sea, Painted Secrets, Red Sky At Night, A Distant Light, and Roman Candles were published under an earlier pseudonym I used: Ellie Winslow by Signet/NAL. The Wine-Dark Sea was bought by ITC in Hollywood, and made into a screenplay. The author of numerous articles, I was a contributing author to Area, the Oriental Rug Magazine for many years, and a reader for the Independent Film Project in New York City. I also write poetry, and I cofounded the celebrated Saturn Series Weekly Poetry Readings in New York City, now in its fourteenth year. My greatest pleasure is entertaining readers with tales of romance and thought-provoking posts about writing in general, and poetry, teaching, and inspiration in particular. Visit my on-line WriteSpa – Oasis for Writers, which welcomes visitors from all over the world. A compilation of WriteSpas is now available too, called Writing through the Year. Besides writing novels and my WriteSpa, I teach high school English (not sure if that’s a hobby or a job, or both!). I also write poetry, I love belly-dancing, singing and playing guitar, Tarot, sacred places, reading, and people.
