Wayward Angels are tales of reality and eerie fantasy from the 1930s to the present: problem and love stories, history, crime fictions, fairy tales and myths retold for our time.
Angel girls take risks. Get in trouble. They come from messed-up families, form edgy relationships. They wander into places where they should not be. Their impulses are quirky and reckless. They cause outrage. Grow obsessed with their bodies. Follow the fads, take up with the wrong guys.
Girls with angelic hearts may have bad intentions. Or they are good. They fly high and fall hard. But they can win. Find significance in the dark, the sordid, the deadly. Some angels can be dangerous to know. Vital, resilient, the life stories rejuvenate.

What readers say:
* "barrels along full tilt boogie"
* "a period piece and a fable, surreal and strange"
* "girl caught up in the swirl of high-stake politics"
* "absolute knock-out of a story"
* "superb writing...the sexual tension...sleek cars, sleek women, blond SS men"
* "a gripping account from the underbelly of pre-WW II"
