About the Author
Once upon a time a little girl was born in Waco, Texas. Many years later she moved to San Francisco, and a whole new world opened to her; North Beach, poetry readings, coffee houses, and the flotsam and jetsam of wannabe artists, and writers. Life became a colorful canopy she had never envisioned before. This too ended and another life began; a marriage, responsibilities associated with marriage, still beautiful, and still colorful but never as stimulating to the younger fringe beatnik who lived in the enchanted world of San Francisco's North Beach. After her husband died, she began writing books, one after the other. Five books later, she's still writing and has a website www.helenlewison.com.
