excerpts from A Woman's Body Was Found There.  This novel follows the migrations and relations between two families and five women:  Sylvia, Olivia Red Sky, Alecia, Jana and Johnnie Johnson.  Their stories trace a migratory triangle across the Sierra Nevada, from Reno to Land's End at Ocean Beach, and across San Francisco to the western ship yards.  Electricity, sex and fire bind these women together.  The same forces tie each of us to the land and to each other.
