Articles, Etc.

I've written more than books, of course. Here's an outline of my work for the past decade.

Three of my poems appear in The Pagan's Muse, edited by Jane Raeburn (Kensington, 2003). A brief historical description of Isis appears in The Return of the Great Goddess, edited by Burleigh Mutén (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 1997). "Caloria, Found Goddess of Potluck" appears in Soul Stirrings: The SageWoman Cookbook, edited by Lunaea Weatherstone (Blessed Bee Media, 1999).

My published short fiction includes an anti-war story (set in ancient Delphi) in a Wiccan deployment pamphlet published at McGuire Air Force Base; an autobiographical story, "Inanna on the Rocks," in Celebrating the Pagan Soul (Citadel, 2005), edited by Laura Wildman; and "A Vision of Sacred Fire" in Sacred Fire, edited by Maril Crabtree (Adams Media, 2006).

Here's a list of my articles published in print magazines and e-zines. A few you can find and read online. Hopefully you can find some of the others in back issues of the magazines.

I have written brochures ("Endarkenment," "Who Is the Queen?" "Why Women Need the Goddess") for the Goddess Temple of Orange County, where I am a member and guest priestess from time to time.

Finally, I've also been writing for the Llewellyn Witches Calendar since 2004. 2006-April. Here's what's coming up: 2007-October. 2008-July.
