About this title

Synopsis

This companion novel in the HERETICS IN OCCUPIED EDEN series can be enjoyed independently of the other books but offers more riches to those who have read them. Chaucer Dickinson first appeared in a minor role in THE DANCING CHURCH. This book offers a deeper surveillance of her life, including previously unrevealed involvements with important characters from the earlier novels. Emerging from a dysfunctional childhood as the lost middle child between a brilliant older sister and a golden-haired younger brother, Chaucer decides to write a fantasy novel to make fun of it all. Producing the manuscript, however, stretches over decades. The chapters of her satirical work unfold at crucial times for Chaucer as she outwardly explores the roles of idealistic war protester, drug-using hippie, feminist graduate student, and gay rights advocate, before settling into a career as a college English professor. Along the way, she marries a gay man, divorces him, and seeks new love with a married colleague. Her wonderland fantasy, THE TIMBERSCAPE OF MEMORY, is interspersed between the chapters of her personal story, reflecting her own improbable journey and ultimately providing a means for integrating her outer and inner worlds.

About the Author

Kenneth Alan Moe was born in Phoenix, where from an early age he experienced mystical events. His working life has included service in the U. S. Army as an intelligence research officer and prisoner of war interrogator and in the corporate world as an insurance investigator. Encounters with tragic and traumatic incidents in these careers led him to become a mainline Protestant minister and denominational executive. Consistently underscoring it all, for more than half a century, he has pursued the vocation of writer, evolving through pencil, pen, manual and electric typewriter, and computer to produce reams of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. Moe's novels reflect his staunch advocacy for feminist and gay rights issues.
