Twisted Hair

In the long ago, traveling story women, Twisted Hairs, took listeners into unusual worlds, making them forget everything except their tales of contradictions. This memoir and fiction collection creates an autobiography through mystical images, violent realities and literary weavings.


They came in mass last night, the Star Born, Bird Tribes, Cloud Faces, S/he fairies, Blue Lights, Armond, Lade and Sasha. Even her imaginary playmate from childhood, Suzi Belle, returned. What a parade of descending energy riding light beams to Planet Earth. They entered through the Arcturus Gateway just south of the Big Dipper.

Twentieth Century violence leaves the storyteller distraut. Twisting and turning through explosive events in Guiyang, China; Tbilisi, Georgia; Chichicastenango, Guatemala; and American arenas, the tales spin paradoxical realities.

Two opposing paths--magical and violent--linked with words from Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman, Dillard, Twain, Shakespeare, Kazantzakis, Hillman, Luke, Rumi and countless other literary voices guide Twisted Hairs stories.
