These tales speak of hope, love sometimes turned sour and the astounding powers of the human psyche.

Common wisdom says the price of love is pain. Ida, an artist’s model and a joyful wench who is swept off her feet by sexy Sergei, couldn’t agree more. Fortunately, she is resourceful, has a way with animals and will not be the one to bear the brunt of the pain. (The Price of Love)

You will not, however, be confined to the here-and-now but carried back in time (The Embroiderer’s Tale) or sent spinning into the distant future (The Darkness, Beware the Sandman).

Born in the United States, May has lived most of her life in Switzerland. After 10 years spent studying at university, she taught English in Geneva. She likes to be outdoors and lived two years in Finland spending time in Lapland. May draws and paints, decorates furniture, works in the kitchen garden and is a jam maker. Quite a few times a year she travels, often hiking over rough terrain. She has two sons who both live in Geneva.
