Eve should be blamed for choosing the apple? For choosing knowledge over obedience? Knowledge of good and evil? She thinks not. Mary insists she be recognized for who she is--the mother of God. And, well, you can imagine what Noah's wife had to say about his grand idea. Nineteen epistles in all. Not only good reading, but also well-suited for auditions. "A truly wonderful source of feminist fiction. In addition to being an extremely enjoyable and thought provoking read, the monologues can also be used for audition and performance pieces. …" Katie M. Deaver, feminismandreligion.com

Lady MacBeth kill herself? Please. And Portia—you don't think someone that intelligent would be pissed to be bait and trophy? As for Kate ... that's supposed to be funny? "Soliloquies: the lady doth indeed protest" is a collection of soliloquies by Ophelia, Lady MacBeth, Regan, Portia, Desdemona, Kate, Isabella, Juliet, Marina, and Miranda—protesting the role given to them by Shakespeare. Exquisite poetry. Fresh new audition pieces. And a theatrical script ready for performance. ***** "…not only dynamic, imaginative verse writing, but extremely intelligent and intuitive insight … I know many actresses who would love to get their hands on this material! As a Shakespeare director, I'm thrilled by the perspective which Chris' pieces provide of the plays and characters which they challenge – I believe these will be sought after by theatre companies which also do solid classical work, as new material for their audiences, embraced by a season of Shakespeare plays.As a feminist, I'm excited by how these characters come alive and point up the perceptions and misperceptions that have shaped their literary and theatrical destinies.As a dramaturg, I'm more than pleased to find modern playwrights who can write in heightened language and/or verse. This is a rare gift, and Chris has this gift." Joanne Zipay, Judith Shakespeare Company, NYC   "I quite enjoyed this poetry collection!"  Sam, Goodreads

A collection of letters that might have been written by Mozart's mother (to her daughter), one of Milton's daughters (to the others), Rubens' model (to an aspiring successor), Plato's (female) (disguised) students (to each other), and others—assuming a feminist consciousness. What would they say? A fictional approach to women's history. "You are clearly a writer of considerable talent, and your special ability to give expression to so many different characters, each in a uniquely appropriate style, makes your work fascinating and attractive … . The pieces are often funny, sometimes sensitive, always creative. But they contain an enormous load of anger, and that is where I have problems … . I know at least one feminist who would read your manuscript with delight (unfortunately she is not a publisher), who would roar with laughter in her sharing of your anger … " rejection letter from a small Canadian press

A collection of poetry exposing the myths within the myths – what might Pandora, Circe, Penelope, Eurydice, Persephone, the Gorgons, and the other women of Greek-Roman mythology have thought and done if they had not been the creations of a male supremacy? For (feminist) poetry fans; of interest to scholars of Greek and Roman mythology; and a valuable resource for English teachers who teach a Mythology unit. "…A welcome relief from the usual male emphasis in this area. There is anger and truth here, not to mention courage." Eric Folsom, Next Exit "Wind handles these myths with wit and intellect. Her voice suggests that the relationship between the consciousness of the myth-makers and modern consciousness is closer than we would think." Linda Manning, Quarry

A collection of the classic fairy tales retold – what would have happened if Gretel, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and others had been strong and critical girls and women living today? "The voices you catch out of the old fairy tales are very impressive. I got quite attached to them." Fiddlehead "So I didn't know what to expect when I read this … it was a fast read (not sure it took me an hour ) … laughed a lot (and sitting on a plane that made for some interesting looks) and when i finished … the only thing i could think of is … why isn't anyone doing this on stage …" szferris, Librarything "I loved the sassy voices in these stories, and the humor, even when making hard points." PJ O'Brien, 5/5, Smashwords
