"Coyote Points the Way: Borderland Stories and Plays." is a compilation of fiction, nonfiction and ten-minute plays that explore the borderlands, both literal and figurative, where individual resourcefulness, creativity, intuitive knowing and courage make all the difference. Many of the stories are set in Colorado's vast San Luis Valley, the largest alpine valley in the lower 48 states; two of the plays are derived from the author's experience teaching holistic health in a federal women's prison; and all of the pieces are inspired by the people, animals, times and places that continue to shape the author's life.
