Shana  Mahaffey lives in San Francisco, California, in part of an Edwardian compound that she shares with an informal cooperative of family, friends, and five cats.  She’s a survivor of catechism and cat scratch fever, and is a member of the Sanchez Grotto Annex, a writers’ co-op.  She welcomes all visitors to her website and is happy to meet with book groups in-person or in cyberspace (phone/webcam/the works).

Here are some cool links I’d recommend you check out:
