about this author
A native New Yorker, I have been living in Morocco for over twenty-five years. I'm a graduate of SUNY Albany (B.A. English and French) and Framingham State College (M.A. Education). I was a contributing editor to FODOR'S MOROCCO 2000 which features my essay on Moroccan religion and its resonance in the culture. A former teacher, I am currently a translator. THE STRINGS OF THE LUTE is my first novel.

review of Dreams of Trespass: Tales of a Harem Girlhood:
"Despite its appearance on every reading list related to Morocco, I’d resisted reading Mernissi’s recent recounting of growing up in Fez in the 1940s and ’50s. “A harem girlhood?” Exotic and titillating, I thought, but not likely a typical u...more " | |||

Hi Eileen and thanks for the add. I love your website. Have a bountiful Thanksgiving!
Smiles,
Jeannie
Hi Eileen. Thanks for the friend request. What an interesting person you are. Living in Morocco, wow! Strings of the Lute sounds like a great story. I have added it to my "to read" list. I look forward to conversing with you.
Thanks for friending me Eileen - glad to meet another sane person who didn't like that awful Lovely Bones. Oh, if I believed in book burning that would be the first one in!
Hi Bonnie,
Happy to meet you! Lol, the house trade idea is tempting. The farthest "west" I've been in the US is Indiana (and I don't think that counts :)
Take care,
Eileen
I just added you to my list of friends when I got your request. Are you currently living in Morocco? Would love to come visit there!! Im from Jackson Hole, Wyoming home of Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone! Want to do a house trade??Bonnie Wilcox
Hi Eileen - thank you for the invite. :) Your book sounds right up my alley. I've added it to my reads. 
Hi Eileen,
Thanks for the add! and I guess that's true, though I've only ever managed to be the first once before! :)
