Callie McFarlane

Callie McFarlane is a pseudonym for my novels, a practice followed by many authors to protect privacy in a not-always-nice world. That said, my novels deal with legitimately existing life conditions and dilemmas, each explored through my characters' realistic reactions and the subsequent choices they take. I write what I believe; I explore those things I know to exist--good and bad; I remain an idealist without illusions, hoping that readers will be touched by what I have written or, in the least, entertained.

I have a multi-faceted professional background from courtrooms to research to veterinary clinics to healthcare to the classroom. I have lived abroad for years; I have lived in cities and in deep country; I am proud to be an American citizen by background, birth, and choice. What is most important to me: Being a contributing citizen of the world; being proactive by addressing some of the ills in the present-day world through my novels; loving all creation; and being kind to animals and humans. When you cry, I cry; when you rejoice, I rejoice. How wonderful it would be if we could all dance together.....if only for a time. I wish you blessings and smiles.
