My first novel, Immersion (Shameless Hussy Press, 1972), is set in the rain forests of Costa Rica. It takes as its subjects ecology and feminism, and is believed to be the first feminist novel published by a Second Wave American feminist press. -Mary Mackey #ecology #feminism

Mackey delivers a fascinating and believable glimpse into what life might have been like in long-ago Europe, in a society where the gods are female and women rule. It's a page-turner of a journey, steeped in ancient beliefs and prophetic visions. rebrand.ly/2hf9esd #HistoricalFiction

How did a sighthound reach Neolithic Italy? Through the great migrations from Anatolia — the same people who brought agriculture to the Mediterranean. They also brought their loyal companions.
