I’m a Magpie
The Séance, by Iain Lawrence • Yearling, 2009
I’ve always been fascinated with spiritualism, particularly that brief period in the early twentieth century where science and superstition collided, and many believed that the world was on the brink of proving, once and for all, the existence of things beyond our ken.
I'm a librarian. Special skills include dog charming, brochure writing, slapdash cooking and long-winded nattering. I also enjoy watching the sunset's reflection in the tall buildings downtown.
For a while there, I taught classes on Classical literature, philosophy, and the history of religion at New College of California. I have an MA and an MFA in Writing, and live on a boat in Sausalito, CA.
