But in an alternative world where men can... Continue Reading →

Why do fairy tales eternally return? We never seem to get tired of them. While most people know the Disney versions best, surprisingly few have read the Grimm versions upon which they were based, which can be very grim indeed. Those in turn were based upon oral retellings of stories by German and Alsatian women,... Continue Reading →

Jagdschmuck. To my American ears, that word sounds like an awful insult. Can’t you just hear it? “Ugh, she's such a Jagdschmuck!” But the word in German describes the long tradition of setting small hunting trophies such as the teeth, antler, or tusk of certain legally hunted animals into jewelry which is then worn by...

Finding Common Ground Sometimes when I write books it's obvious what draws each character to each other. They have a common ground—that something which makes them a good match. Other times it's not so obvious even if characters have common interests or things like that. I love doing either type of story and it's up... Continue Reading →
