I'm the author of The Briarcrest Chronicles. I live in the
San Francisco Bay area with my partner of more than 20 years and our two fur-kids
of Scottish Terrier descent.

The Briarcrest series was originally conceived as a collection of three stories.
The Heart’s Desire begins the tale of Catherine and Lydia and tells of their meeting
and falling in love. The Heart’s Strength continues the story some 20 years later
and involves difficulties for the women of Briarcrest when they encounter rogue
priests who arrive in Willowglen in the name of the Inquisition. Book Three, the
writing of which is now in process, is tentatively entitled The Heart’s Longing and
it will bring the story--and the memory of the women of Briarcrest--forward into
modern times. Writing and sharing these stories has been one of the most treasured
experiences of my life.

In addition to this series, I write a column for the Just About Write site (www.justaboutwrite.com)--a great web site filled with lots of articles on writing and book reviews by a host of great reviewers. I typically post at least one or two reviews a month on JAW. (My reviews also appear on the L-word fan site, too. Visit the literature section to read reviews there.)

I also have several other books simmering in my brain. There are, indeed, so many
books...and so little time (both to read and to write). To read more about the Briarcrest books, please visit www.annafurtado.com.

Thanks for reading,
Anna
