V.J. Waks has been telling stories since childhood.
This sort of thing can get one into trouble. But while society imposes harsh limits on the sorts of things you can say about people, it allows a near absolute freedom on the sorts of things you can write about them. Society is like that.
And so it was decided. But it was by a still fiendishly circuitous route (that included double majors in hard science and other occult matters as an undergraduate, and a Masters degree later) that the author eventually came to her first novel publication. A New Yorker in origin, she has never lived more than a few miles from water, not excepting her current abode in a haunted 1930's carriage house in Los Angeles.

About the Cover Art

Louis Welden Hawkins (1849-1910). The Sphinx and the Chimera.
Born in Germany of English parents, French symbolist and painter at the end of the XIXst century, Hawkins was recognized as the French link to the Pre-raphaelites. Truly a man of the world, he is still acclaimed for his dense, highly detailed works of dreamy and exotic subjects.
The cover design was brilliantly adapted by C. Reagan, of Portland, Maine, with additional cover photography by Doug Nelson Photography, of Los Angeles, California.
