Antoinette May, award winning author and journalist, will address the CWC Sacramento Branch Writers Network breakfast meeting on Romancing the Monster.
Antoinette May reads Tarot cards, chases ghosts, and collects myths. Her fascination with the unknown led her to write the bestselling Adventures of a Psychic that spent 42 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.
Antoinette’s love of legend inspired her debut novel Pilate’s Wife, which has been translated into 19 languages, The Sacred Well, the San Francisco Book Festival 2009 top place winner, and her latest novel, THE DETERMINED HEART: the Tale of Mary Shelley and Her Frankenstein.
A former newspaper editor, Antoinette writes weekly columns for the San Francisco Chronicle and the Sierra Lodestar. Her articles have appeared in Cosmopolitan, Self, and Country Living magazines
Antoinette is a native of La Jolla and later resided in Palo Alto, CA where she spent six years researching the historical background for Pilate’s Wife at Stanford University. An awarded-winning travel writer, Antoinette and her husband, Charles Herndon, have “settled” in the historic California gold country. Antoinette is the founding director of the annual Gold Rush Writers Conference.
