Cronation
2016

Cronation is a novel, set in the near future, populated by characters whose mission is to midwife the birth of a new era of creative partnership and community collaboration in gratitude, joy, and celebration. Cronation is a manifesto and a shout out to all the women who claim the Crone identity and embrace the rights and responsibilities that entails. Art is a spiritual pathCronation is also a reimaging of my life's work in the Open Studion Process in story form that I hope is fun, inspiring, and opens a space for others to rewrite and enlarge their own stories.

Cronation is available at Women and Children First Bookstore in Chicago.
