Historical Fiction....

 Land Beyond Maps tells of lesbians and their friends in Santa Fe and the Navajolands through the boom and bust of 1929. Ambitious archaeologists, zealous missionaries, quietly forceful Navajo women, and overeager tourists intensify this fast-paced story, closely based on the life of photographer Laura Gilpin. Extensively researched, Land Beyond Maps is a novel of women's history, travel, biography, and adventure, drawing the reader into the lives of women who find new adventures, new careers, and new passions later in life.

Land Beyond Maps won the 2000 Arch and Bruce Brown Foundation Full-Length Lesbian/Gay Historical Fiction Competition.
