Breath of the Adamastor
is a genre-bending novel of literary historical fiction about a marine biologist's tour of duty as an Allied spy in 1940s Portugal. Under the cover of turtle research, Ardis Lowney’s mission takes her to Lisbon’s sophisticated salons, rustic villages, and sunny beach towns. Just when her cover no longer holds water, she makes an extraordinary discovery at sea, yet comes face-to-face with her would-be lover, staring down the barrel of his Luger. The narrative soars with sublime moments that clash with the absurd facades of Fatima, war, and romance. (Cavalarico Books, 2026) Breath of the Adamastor is the new title and second edition of A Life on Water (2023).
A Bill to Pay: a two-act play
is a coming of age comedy about a young man and his grandfather who come to appreciate the price of life’s little decisions. Harking back to 1988-90 when the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement was in the news, A Bill to Pay calls attention to what was lost and the price Canadians continue to pay. (Cavalarico Books, 2024)
The Tale of Indigo
is a book of poetry that explores our most-enduring myth—creation—and the great issues of our time—greed, our war with pathogens, and climate change. (Cavalarico Books, 2022)
Bio
After raising my son and daughter who are adults now and established in their careers . . . and after writing three books . . . one of my priorities has been setting up my imprint, Cavalarico Books, to publish, distribute, market, and promote my books. Currently, I'm expanding distribution. This year, I added my bookstore on the books.by platform. I'm working on sequels to Breath of the Adamastor and looking forward to doing some writing in a far-off exotic location (at least in my mind, haha). Want to stay in touch?
