Sheila Paris Klein is an award-winning poet. Her first novel, In the Cave of Memory, was praised for its "spellbinding stories woven together in a tapestry of mystery." She has been writing fiction and poetry for three decades. She was born, raised and educated in Brooklyn, New York. She has never had a poetry stand, laid bricks, run a food market, or gone to law school, and, while her characters may embrace mysticism, she has no such talent. So much for writing what one knows.She travels extensively, writing from all over the world and makes her home in Nevada.
