About the Author

Margot Dolgin is a California Author and Artist. Her genre is historical fiction. Although ALL ELSE IS SHADOW is a period piece, there are aspects that touch upon the author?s life and beliefs. WALK IN LOVE is set in Yerba Buena (San Francisco) prior to the Gold Rush. It evolved from Margot?s kinship with the city of her birth. The Bay and topography remain a pervading view of another time. Her extensive research unearths provocative details of that era. There is romance, adventure and a thread of mystery. FAYREMORN, which is set in Georgian England, is perhaps the most powerful in its story line. There is love, hate, poignancy, hope and a sense of mystery. Each novel promises a surprise ending. The Author created the covers of her books.
