Each of the sisters struggled to make their way in a world that was not built with female independence in...

Praise for Return of the Continuums:

"Strong female and male characters join forces to save what's left of the world, while a subplot of love triangles adds emotional suspense.

Entering Night Country focuses on the existential condition, and explores how it penetrates professional lives, analytic work, and theoretical...
